Premalatha %J Progress in Applied Mathematics %D 2012 %I %R 10.3968/j.pam.1925252820120302.125 %X In the Present paper we study Ricci solitons in trans-sasakian manifolds. In particular we consider Ricci solitons in f -Kenmotsu manifolds and we prove the conditions for the Ricci solitons to be shrinking, steady and expanding.
