Linearized modified gravity theories and gravitational waves physics in the GBD theory

The generalized Brans-Dicke (abbreviated as GBD) theory is obtained by replacing the Ricci scalar R in the original Brans-Dicke (BD) action with an arbitrary function f(R). Comparing with other theories, some interesting properties have been found or some problems existing in other theories could be...
