We study the curvature strength and visibility of the central singularity a
rising in Tolman-Bondi-de Sitter collapse. We find that the singularity is
visible and Tipler strong along an infinite number of timelike geodesics, i
ndependently of the initial data, and thus stable against perturbations of
the latter. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
