Abstract
The focus of this paper is to obtain anisotropic spherically symmetric solutions by means of gravitational decoupling in the background of self-interacting Brans-Dicke theory. We introduce minimal geometric deformation in the radial metric component to decouple the field equations into two arrays. The first set, governed by the seed source, is determined through metric functions of isotropic solution (Heintzmann/Tolman VII spacetimes) while the second set is solved by imposing two constraints on the anisotropic source. The unknown constants are evaluated via matching conditions at the stellar boundary. We investigate the effects of massive scalar field as well as decoupling parameter on the physical structure of anisotropic models and check them for viability through energy conditions. It is concluded that the anisotropic solutions obtained through constraint I are well-behaved for selected values of the decoupling parameter. For the second constraint, the extended Heintzmann solution is viable but anisotropic Tolman solution does not comply with dominant energy condition for higher values of the decoupling parameter.
