Summary: | We investigate the medium modifications of momentum splitting fraction and groomed jet radius with both dynamical grooming and soft drop algorithms in heavy-ion collisions. In the calculation, the partonic spectrum of initial hard scattering in p+p collisions is provided by the event generator PYTHIA8, and the energy loss of fast parton traversing in a hot/dense quantum-chromodynamic medium is simulated with the linear Boltzmann transport model. We predict the normalized distributions of the groomed jet radius

= 5.02 TeV, then compare these quantities in dynamical grooming at
a
= 0.1, with that in soft drop at
z

= 0.1 and
β
= 0. It is found that the normalized distribution ratios Pb+Pb/p+p with respect to
z
g
in
z

β
= 0 soft drop case are close to unity, those in
a
= 0.1 dynamical grooming case show enhancement at small
z

, and Pb+Pb/p+p with respect to
θ
g
in the dynamical grooming case demonstrate weaker modification than those in the soft drop counterparts. We further calculate the groomed jet number averaged momentum splitting fraction 〈

and

in the
