Abstract

In this work, the study of traversable wormholes in f(R)f(R) gravity with the function f(R)=R+αRnf(R)=R+\alpha R^n, where α\alpha and nn are arbitrary constants, is taken into account. The shape function b(r)=rexp(rr0)b(r)=\frac{r}{\exp(r-r_0)}, proposed by Samanta et al. \cite{godani1}, is considered. The energy conditions with respect to both constant and variable redshift functions are discussed and the existence of wormhole solutions without presence of exotic matter is investigated.
