dc.descriptionIn the stringy cosmology, we investigate singularities in geodesic surface congruences for the time-like and null strings to yield the Raychaudhuri type equations possessing correction terms associated with the novel features owing to the strings. Assuming the stringy strong energy condition, we have a Hawking-Penrose type inequality equation. If the initial expansion is negative so that the congruence is converging, we show that the expansion must pass through the singularity within a proper time. We observe that the stringy strong energy conditions of both the time-like and null string congruences produce the same inequality equation.
