The study of gravitational collapse is a very interesting phenomena in general relativistic astrophysics. Here, in this study we investigated the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric core of a star, constituted of dark matter (DM) (ρDM), in dark energy (DE) (ρDE) background. It was investigated that gravitational collapse of interacting and noninteracting combination of DM and DE yields BH formation. In this work, our main aim is to examine the effect of space–time curvature (k=0,1,−1) on the gravitational collapse of interacting and noninteracting combination of dark matter and DE. We achieve the visible influence of curvature on gravitational collapse analytically and interpret the results graphically.
