Multipole analysis for linearized $$f(R,{\mathcal {G}})$$ f(R,G) gravity with irreducible Cartesian tensors

Abstract The field equations of $$f(R,{\mathcal {G}})$$ f(R,G) gravity are rewritten in the form of obvious wave equations with the stress–energy pseudotensor of the matter fields and the gravitational field as its source under the de Donder condition. The linearized field equations of $$f(R,{\mathc...
