The analytical discussion on strong gravitaional lensing for a   gravitational source with a $f(R)$ global monopole
  Here the gravitational lensing in strong field limit of a Schwarzschild black hole with a solid deficit angle owing to global monopole within the context of the $f(R)$ gravity theory is investigated. We obtain the expressions of deflection angle and time delay in the forms of elliptic integrals and discuss the asymptotic behaviour of the elliptic integrals to find the explicit formulae of angle and time difference in the strong field limit. We show that the deflection angle and the time delay between multiple images are related not only to the monopole but also to the $f(R)$ correction $\psi_{0}$ by taking the cosmological boundary into account. Some observables such as the minimum impact parameter, the angular separation, the relative magnification and the compacted angular position have been estimated as well. It is intriguing that the tiny modification on the standard general relativity will make the remarkable deviation on the angle and the time lag, offering a significant way to explore some possible distinct signatures of the topological soliton and the correction of the Einstein general relativity.
