gravity with a self-interacting potential in (2+ 1)-dimensions. Without specifying the form of
the f (R) function, we first obtain an exact black hole solution dressed with scalar hair with
the scalar charge to appear in the f (R) function and we discuss its thermodynamics. This
solution at large distances gives a hairy Bañados, Teitelboim, and Zanelli (BTZ) black hole,
and it reduces to the BTZ black hole when the scalar field decouples. In a pure f (R) gravity …
