To explain the cosmic speed up, brought to light by the recent SNIa and CMB observations, we propose the following: (a) In a spacetime endowed with a FRW metric, we choose an empirical scale factor that best explains the observations. (b) We assume a modified gravity, generated by an unspecified field Lagrangian, f(R). (c) We use the adopted empirical scale factor to work back retroactively to obtain f(R), hence the term "Inverse f(R)". (d) Next we consider the classic GR and a conventional FRW universe that, in addition to its known baryonic content, possesses a hypothetical "Dark Energy" component. We compare the two scenarios and find the density, the pressure, and the equation of the state of the Dark Energy required to make up for the differences between the conventional and the modified GR models.

Recently, the vacuum energy of the QCD ghost in a time-dependent background is proposed as a kind of dark energy candidate to explain the acceleration of the Universe. In this model, the energy density of the dark energy is proportional to the Hubble parameter H, which is the Hawking temperature on the Hubble horizon of the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) Universe. In this paper, we generalized this model and chose the Hawking temperature on the so-called trapping horizon, which will coincide with the Hubble temperature in the context of flat FRW Universe dominated by the dark energy component. We study the thermodynamics of Universe with this kind of dark energy and find that the entropy-area relation is modified, namely, there is another new term besides the area term.

We consider a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe filled by a dark energy (DE) candidate together with other possible sources which may include the baryonic and nonbaryonic matters. Thereinafter, we consider a situation in which the cosmos sectors do not interact with each other. By applying the unified first law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon of the FRW universe, we show that the DE candidate may modify the apparent horizon entropy and thus the Bekenstein limit. Moreover, we generalize our study to the models in which the cosmos sectors have a mutual interaction. Our final result indicates that the mutual interaction between the cosmos sectors may add an additional term to the apparent horizon entropy leading to modify the Bekenstein limit. Relationships with previous works have been addressed throughout the paper. Finally, we investigate the validity of the second law of thermodynamics and its generalized form in the interacting and noninteracting cosmoses.

In this paper we study a quintessence cosmological model in which the dark energy component is considered to be the generalized Chaplygin gas and the curvature of the three-geometry is taken into account. Two parameters characterize this sort of fluid: ν and α. We use different astronomical data for restricting these parameters. It is shown that the constraint ν ≲ α agrees well enough with the astronomical observations.

We investigate the influence of mass inhomogeneities on the angular size-redshift test through a statistical analysis of angular size data for a large sample of milliarcsecond radio sources. The results are based on flat models driven by nonrelativistic matter plus a dark energy component in the form of a relic cosmological constant. To model the mass inhomogeneities we use the Zeldovich–Kantowski distance formula (also known as Dyer–Roeder distance redshift relation) which is characterized by the smoothness parameter α. Marginalizing over the characteristic angular size l and assuming a Gaussian prior on the matter density parameter, i.e., Ωm=0.35±0.07, the best fit model occurs at Ωm=0.35 and α=0.8. For an analysis without priors and minimizing χ2 for the parameters l, Ωm and α we find that a conventional homogeneous scenario (α=1) with Ωm=0.2 and D=22.6h-1 pc constitutes the best fit model for the present angular size data.

Recent redshift-distance measurements of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) at cosmological distances suggest that two-third of the energy density of the universe is dominated by dark energy component with an effective negative pressure. This dark energy component is described by the equation of state px= wρx(w ≥ - 1). We use gravitational lensing statistics to constrain the equation of state of this dark energy. We use n(Δθ), the image separation distribution function of lensed quasars, as a tool to probe w. We find that for the observed range of Ωm~ 0.2–0.4, w should lie between -0.8 ≤ w ≤ -0.4 in order to have five lensed quasars in a sample of 867 optical quasars. This limit is highly sensitive to lens and Schechter parameters and the evolution of galaxies.

This paper is devoted to study the generalized ghost pilgrim dark energy (PDE) model in [Formula: see text] gravity with flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe. In this scenario, we reconstruct [Formula: see text] models and evaluate the corresponding equation of state (EoS) parameter for different choices of the scale factors. We assume power-law scale factor, scale factor for unification of two phases, intermediate and bouncing scale factor. We study the behavior of reconstructed models and EoS parameters graphically. It is found that all the reconstructed models show decreasing behavior for PDE parameter [Formula: see text]. On the other hand, the EoS parameter indicates transition from dust-like matter to phantom era for all choices of the scale factor except intermediate for which this is less than [Formula: see text]. We conclude that all the results are in agreement with PDE phenomenon.

We explore a spatially homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe that is filled with agegraphic dark energy (ADE) with mutual interaction with pressureless dark matter in the background of Brans–Dicke (BD) theory. We consider both original and a new type of ADE (NADE) and further assume that the sign of the interaction term can change during the history of the universe. We obtain the equation of the state parameter, the deceleration parameter, and the evolutionary equation for the sign-changeable interacting ADE and NADE in BD cosmology. We find that in both models, the equation of the state parameter, wD, cannot cross the phantom line, although they can predict the universe evolution from the early deceleration phase to the late time acceleration, compatible with observations. We also investigate the sound stability of these models and find out that both models cannot show a signal of stability for different model parameters.

Following the approach of the induced-matter theory, we investigate the cosmological implications of a five-dimensional Brans–Dicke (BD) theory, and propose to explain the acceleration of the universe. After inducing in a four-dimensional hypersurface, we classify the energy–momentum tensor into two parts in a way that, one part represents all kind of the matter (the baryonic and dark) and the other one contains every extra terms emerging from the scale factor of the fifth dimension and the scalar field, which we consider as the energy–momentum tensor of dark energy. We also separate the energy–momentum conservation equation into two conservation equations, one for matter and the other for dark energy. We perform this procedure for different cases, without interacting term and with two particular (suitable) interacting terms between the two parts. By assuming the parameter of the state equation for dark energy to be constant, the equations of the model admit the power-law solutions. Though, the noninteracting case does not give any accelerated universe, but the interacting cases give both decelerated and accelerated universes. For the interacting cases, we figure out analytically the acceptable ranges of some parameters of the model, and also investigate the data analysis to test the model parameter values consistency with the observational data of the distance modulus of 580 SNe Ia compiled in Union2.1. For one of these interacting cases, the best fitted values suggest that BD coupling constant (ω) is ≃ -7.75, however, it also gives the state parameter of dark energy (wX) equal to ≃ -0.67. In addition, the model gives the Hubble and deceleration parameters at the present time to be H◦ ≃ 69.4 (km/s)/Mpc and q◦ ≃ -0.38 (within their confidence intervals), where the scale factor of the fifth dimension shrinks with the time.

In this study, we report the state parameter of dark energy in higher dimensional Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) space–time according to generalized entropy of Sharma and Mittal. In this case we analyze the state parameter of dark energy according to today’s observational evidence.
