Non-linearity of Vaidya spacetime and forces in the central naked singularity

Abstract

In this paper we consider non-linear Vaidya spacetime i.e. the case when the mass function has the non-linear form $M(v) \equiv \lambda v^n \,, \lambda >0 \,, n>1 $. We prove that the central naked singularity might form for values $n>1$ but they are gravitationally weak. Also we investigate the question about forces in the naked singularity and prove that they might be finite only in the case of the gravitationally weak naked singularity.
