Analytical Solutions of Spherically Symmetric Collapse of an Anisotropic Fluid Body into a Black Hole

Einstein's field equations in a spherically symmetric case are investigated for an anisotropic fluid body. The three weak energy conditions are required to hold. A class of analytic solutions, involving an arbitrary function and two parameters, is found which satisfy all the equations and the inequalities prior to the collapse of the boundary inside the event horizon.
