  We use both numerical and analytical approaches to study the dynamics of the
gravitational collapse in the framework of the relativistic theory of
gravitation (RTG). We use various equations of state for the collapsing matter
and relatively realistic initial conditions with smooth matter distribution,
which corresponds to static solution for the given equation of state. We also
obtain results concerning the influence of the graviton mass on the properties
of static solutions. We specify several characteristics of the process of the
collapse, in particular, we determine the dependence of the turning point time
(when contraction is replaced by inflation) on the graviton mass. We also study
the influence of non-zero pressure on the dynamics of the collapse.
