Thermodynamic properties of non-singular Hayward black hole through the lens of minimal gravitational decoupling by Tayyab Naseer, Jackson Levi Said, M. Sharif, Abdel-Haleem Abdel-Aty

“…Abstract In this article, we formulate three different solutions by extending the regular Hayward black hole in the background of gravitational decoupling, a well-known approach to extend the existing solutions to the more generalized domain. To do this, we consider a seed perfect fluid spherical source and add an extra matter content in the Einstein’s field equations. …”
