Abstract
We examine the existence of an apparent horizon in the collapse of an isolated dust cloud using expansion functions. Our results indicate that in the region of spacetime far away from the gravitational singularity, the considered system has a horizon, in which case the singularity is covered. Using this method may have limited applicability in the neighbourhood of the gravitational singularity, where quantum effects are expected to be essential.
