According to experimental data of SNe Ia (Supernovae type Ia), we will discuss in detial dynamics of the DGP model and introduce a simple parametrization of matter $\omega$, in order to analyze scenarios of the expanding universe and the evolution of the scale factor. We find that the dimensionless matter density parameter at the present epoch $\Omega^0_m=0.3$, the age of the universe $t_0= 12.48$ Gyr, $\frac{a}{a_0}=-2.4e^{\frac{-t}{25.56}}+2.45$. The next we study the linear growth of matter perturbations, and we assume a definition of the growth rate, $f \equiv \frac{dln\delta}{dlna}$. As many authors for many years, we have been using a good approximation to the growth rate $f \approx \Omega^{\gamma(z)}_m$, we also find that the best fit of the growth index, $\gamma(z)\approx 0.687 - \frac{40.67}{1 + e^{1.7. (4.48 + z)}}$, or $\gamma(z)= 0.667 + 0.033z$ when $z\ll1$. We also compare the age of the universe and the growth index with other models and experimental data. We can see that the DGP model describes the cosmic acceleration as well as other models that usually refers to dark energy and Cold Dark Matter (CDM).

This paper discusses the recent measurement of the number of galaxies vs. redshift and flux and presents new results pertaining to the two dimensionless geometrical quantities that describe the geometry of the conventional big-bang cosmology, the density parameter Ω and the dimensionless form λ = Λ/(3H02) of the cosmological constant. In contrast to the classical redshift-magnitude test as applied to the brightest galaxies in clusters, this new method is able to separate the effects of evolution from geometrical effects and is therefore able to measure the geometry of space. The 95% confidence limits are Ω - λ = 0.9−0 5+0 7 and −1.5 < Ω + λ < 7.1. The principal conclusions are these: (1) For both λ = 0 and inflationary models of the universe, this measurement and primordial nucleosynthesis imply a large density of nonbaryonic matter. (2) Hubble's constant H0 and the age of the universe τ are constrained by 0.60 < H0τ < 0.88 (95% confidence).

ABSTRACT Several authors have made claims, none of which has been rebutted, that the flatness problem, as formulated by Dicke and Peebles, is not really a problem but rather a misunderstanding. Nevertheless, the flatness problem is still widely perceived to be real. Most of the arguments against the idea of a flatness problem are based on the change with time of the density parameter Ω and normalized cosmological constant λ and, since the Hubble constant H is not considered, are independent of time-scale. An independent claim is that fine-tuning is required in order to produce a Universe which neither collapsed after a short time nor expanded so quickly that no structure formation could take place. I show that this claim does not imply that fine-tuning of the basic cosmological parameters is necessary, in part for similar reasons as in the more restricted flatness problem and in part due to an incorrect application of the idea of perturbing the early Universe in a gedankenexperiment; I discuss some typical pitfalls of the latter.

Here, we discuss the cosmological consequences of a previous suggested model for the case K = ±1. It is shown that the model covers the whole observed ranges for the Hubble's constant, the age of the universe and the density parameter.

In this paper, we investigate a scalar field Brans–Dicke cosmological model in Lyra’s geometry which is based on the modifications in a geometrical term as well as energy term of Einstein’s field equations. We have examined the validity of the proposed cosmological model on the observational scale by performing statistical analysis from the latest [Formula: see text] and SN Ia observational data. We find that the estimated values of Hubble’s constant and matter energy density parameter is in agreement with their corresponding values, obtained from recent observations of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and Plank collaboration. We also derived the deceleration parameter, age of the universe and jerk parameter in terms of red-shift and computed its present values. The dynamics of the deceleration parameter in the derived model of the universe show a signature flipping from positive to a negative value and also indicate that the present universe is in the accelerating phase.

A new class of dark energy model, known as “Tsallis agegraphic dark energy (TADE),” has been proposed using the holographic principle and Tsallis nonextensive entropy (Mod. Phys. Lett. A, 2019), considering the conformal time as well as the age of the Universe as IR cutoffs in flat Universe. The trajectories for evolution of statefinder parameters in [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text] planes are plotted for the TADE 1 and TADE 2 models for the value of the Tsallis parameter [Formula: see text], and taking the TADE energy density parameter [Formula: see text], according to the Planck 2018 results VI — [Formula: see text]CDM observational data without interaction.

It has been proposed (e.g. Carr, Bond and Arnett 1984) that the first generation of stars may have been Very Massive Objects (VMOs, of mass above 200 M⊙) which existed at large redshifts and left a large fraction of the mass of the universe in black hole remnants which now provide the dynamical ‘dark matter’. The radiation from these stars would be present today as extragalactic background light. For stars with density parameter Ω* which convert a fraction ϵ of their rest-mass to radiation at a redshift of z, the energy density of background radiation in units of the critical density is ΩR = εΩ* / (1+z). The VMOs would be far-ultraviolet sources with effective temperatures of 105 K. If the radiation is not absorbed, the constraints provided by measurements of background radiation imply (for H =50 km/s/Mpc) that the stars cannot close the universe unless they formed at a redshift of 40 or more. To provide the dark matter (of one-tenth closure density) the optical limits imply that they must have existed at redshifts above 25.

The cosmic defect theory has been confronted with four observational constraints: primordial nuclear species abundances emerging from the big bang nucleosynthesis; large scale structure formation in the Universe; cosmic microwave background acoustic scale; luminosity distances of type Ia supernovae. The test has been based on a statistical analysis of the a posteriori probabilities for three parameters of the theory. The result has been quite satisfactory and such that the performance of the theory is not distinguishable from that of the ΛCDM theory. The use of the optimal values of the parameters for the calculation of the Hubble constant and the age of the Universe confirms the compatibility of the cosmic defect approach with observations.
