What is On energy-momentum tensor for gravitational waves in $f(R)$ gravity about?

The classical Isaacson's procedure for describing back-reaction of the averaged energy-momentum for high frequency gravitational waves is generalized to $f(R)$ gravity case. From the beginning it is assumed that an initial background could be arbitrary one. By next steps it is restricted to de Sitter space that is a novelty for the study of a back-reaction in $f(R)$ gravity. Consideration of the de Sitter space as a background spacetime allows us to provide the averaging procedure completely. Using the results on the de Sitter space and generalizing the Isaacson procedure, we construct the averaged energy-momentum on an additionally curved (averaged) background. Relations of parameters, which preserve the de Sitter picture, and which disturb it are given. Our results generalize results of previous authors who use flat (Minkowski) spacetime as the beginning background in $f(R)$ gravity.
