Abstract
We consider Einstein-Weyl gravity with a minimally coupled scalar field in four dimensional spacetime. Using the minimal geometric deformation (MGD) approach, we split the highly nonlinear coupled field equations into two subsystems that describe the background geometry and scalar field source, respectively. By considering the Schwarzschild-AdS metric as background geometry, we derive analytical approximate solutions of the scalar field and deformation metric functions using the homotopy analysis method (HAM), providing their analytical approximations to fourth order. Moreover, we discuss the accuracy of the analytical approximations, showing they are sufficiently accurate throughout the exterior spacetime.
