European Physical Journal C. 80(10): 1-11. doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-08538-y1434-60441434-6052 (Online)isidoc: ON0LAhttps://hdl.handle.net/10321/5412A five-dimensional spherically symmetric generalised radiating field is studied in Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity. We assume the matter distribution is an extended Vaidya-like source and the resulting Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet field equations are solved for the matter variables and mass function. The evolution of the mass, energy density and pressure are then studied within the spacetime manifold. The effects of the higher order curvature corrections of Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity are prevalent in the analysis of the mass function when compared to general relativity. The effects of diffusive transport are then considered and we derive the specific equation for which diffusive behaviour is possible. Gravitational collapse is then considered and we show that collapse ends with a weak and conical singularity for the generalised source, which is not the case in Einstein gravity.11 pen0202 Atomic, Molecular, Nuclear, Particle and Plasma Physics0206 Quantum PhysicsNuclear & Particles Physics5101 Astronomical sciences5102 Atomic, molecular and optical physics5107 Particle and high energy physicsArticle2024-08-1410.1140/epjc/s10052-020-08538-y
