Abstract

The present paper is aimed at the study of traversable wormholes in f(R)f(R) gravity with a viable f(R)f(R) function defined as f(R)=RμRc(RRc)pf(R)=R-\mu R_c\Big(\frac{R}{R_c}\Big)^p, where RR is scalar curvature, μ\mu, RcR_c and pp are constants with μ,Rc>0\mu, R_c>0 and 0<p<10<p<1 \citep{Amendola}. The metric of wormhole is dependent on shape function b(r)b(r) and redshift function ϕ(r)\phi(r) which characterize its properties, so the shape function and redshift function play an important role in wormhole modeling. In this work, the wormhole solutions are determined for (i) ϕ(r)=1r\phi(r)=\frac{1}{r} and (ii) ϕ(r)=c\phi(r)=c (constant) with b(r)=rexp(rr0)b(r)=\frac{r}{exp(r-r_0)} \citep{godani1}. Further, the regions respecting the energy conditions are investigated.
