Abstract

We use the technique of conformal transformations to generate self-similar collapse in Brans-Dicke theory. We analyze the solutions concerning the critical behavior found recently by Choptuik. The critical exponent associated to the formation of black hole for near critical evolution is obtained. The role of the coupling parameter is discussed.
