Definition of Complexity Factor for Self-Gravitating Systems in Palatini $f(R)$ Gravity

The aim of this paper is to explore the complexity factor (CF) for those self-gravitating relativistic spheres whose evolution proceeds non-dynamically. We are adopting the definition of CF mentioned in \cite{PhysRevD.97.044010}, modifying it to the static spherically symmetric case, within the framework of a modified gravity theory (the Palatini $f(R)$ theory). In this respect, we have considered radial dependent anisotropic matter content coupled with spherical geometry and determined the complexity factor involved in the patterns of radial evolution. We shall explore the field and a well-known Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations. After introducing structure scalars from the orthogonal decomposition of the Riemann tensor, we shall calculate complexity factor. An exact analytical model is presented by considering firstly ansatz provided by Gokhroo and Mehra. The role of matter variables and $f(R)$ terms are analyzed in the structure formation as well as their evolution through a complexity factor.
