Patil, K. D.Zade, S.

It is found that the central singularities may be naked in higher dimensions but depend sensitively on the choices of the parameters. These naked singularities are found to be gravitationally strong that violate the cosmic censorship hypothesis.enGravitational collapseNaked singularityCosmic censorshipHigher dimensionsArticle
