In this work we investigate the effect of spheroidicity on complexity in self-gravitating, static systems. Utilizing the anisotropic generalisation of the Vaidya–Tikekar superdense stellar model, we employ the complexity factor to connect the spheroidal parameter to the pressure anisotropy and density inhomogeneity. Our findings indicate that deviation from spherical symmetry lead to a higher degree of complexity within the stellar body. We further show the equation of state of parameter is inherently linked to the complexity factor thus demonstrating that the nature of matter in self-gravitating bounded systems plays an important role in the effect of pressure anisotropy and density inhomogeneities.
