The relativistic Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation for relativistic spin-1 particles with position-dependent mass in the presence of a vector Kratzer-type potential and the absence of a scalar potential is studied analytically. The energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions are obtained using the wave function ansatz approach.
