Null Energy Condition (NEC) requires the equation of state (EoS) of the universe wu satisfy wu ≥ -1, which implies, for instance in a universe with matter and dark energy dominating wu = w m Ω m + w de Ω de = w de Ω de ≥ -1. In this paper we study constraints on the dark energy models from the requirement of the NEC. We will show that with Ω de ~ 0.7, w de < -1 at present epoch is possible. However, NEC excludes the possibility of w de < -1 forever as happened in the Phantom model, but if w de < -1 stays for a short period of time as predicted in the Quintom theory, NEC can be satisfied. We take three examples of Quintom models of dark energy, namely the phenomenological EoS, the two-scalar-field model and the single scalar model with a modified Dirac–Born–Infeld (DBI) Lagrangian to show how this happens.

We investigate the correspondence between the ghost and Chaplygin scalar field dark energy models in the framework of Einstein gravity. We consider a spatially nonflat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe containing dark energy that interacts with dark matter. We reconstruct the potential and the dynamics for the Chaplygin scalar field model according to the evolutionary behavior of ghost dark energy, which can describe the phantomic accelerated expansion of the universe.

Recent many physicists suggest that the dark energy in the universe might result from the Born–Infeld (B–I) type scalar field of string theory. The universe of B–I type scalar field with potential can undergo a phase of accelerating expansion. The corresponding equation of state parameter lies in the range of -1<ω<-⅓. The equation of state parameter of B–I type scalar field without potential lies in the range of 0≤ω≤1. We find that weak energy condition and strong energy condition are violated for phantom B–I type scalar field. The equation of state parameter lies in the range of ω<-1.

To explain the relative abundance of the dark energy and non-baryonic cold dark matter (74% and 22% respectively), making up 96% of the material content of the universe, it is proposed that space is filled with an equal amount of positive and negative mass particles, satisfying the average null energy condition, and with it the smallness of the cosmological constant. This assumption can explain the relative abundance of the dark energy and cold dark matter by the Madelung constant for the gravitationally-interacting positive and negative mass particles.

This paper is devoted to study the scalar field dark energy models by taking its different aspects in the framework off(R,∇R)gravity. We consider flat FRW universe to construct the equation of state parameter governed byf(R,∇R)gravity. The stability of the model is discussed with the help of squared speed of sound parameter. It is found that models show quintessence behavior of the universe in stable as well as unstable modes. We also develop the correspondence off(R,∇R)model with some scalar field dark energy models like quintessence, tachyonic field,k-essence, dilaton, hessence, and DBI-essence. The nature of scalar fields and corresponding scalar potentials is being analyzed inf(R,∇R)gravity graphically which show consistency with the present day observations about accelerated phenomenon.

After reviewing the [Formula: see text] gravity, in which [Formula: see text] is the torsion scalar and [Formula: see text] is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, we refer to two cosmological models of this theory in agreement with observational data. Thereinafter, we consider a flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe filled by a pressureless source and look at the terms other than the Einstein terms in the corresponding Friedmann equations, as the dark energy (DE) candidate. In addition, some cosmological features of models, including equation of states and deceleration parameters, are addressed helping us in getting the accelerated expansion of the universe in quintessence era. Finally, we extract the scalar field as well as potential of quintessence, tachyon, K-essence and dilatonic fields for both [Formula: see text] models. It is observed that the dynamics of scalar field as well as the scalar potential of these models indicate an accelerated expanding universe in these models.

The accelerated expansion of the Universe is one of the main discoveries of the past decades, indicating the presence of an unknown component: the dark energy. Evidence of its presence is being gathered by a succession of observational experiments with increasing precision in its measurements. However, the most accepted model for explaining the dynamic of our Universe, the so-called Lambda cold dark matter, faces several problems related to the nature of such energy component. This has led to a growing exploration of alternative models attempting to solve those drawbacks. In this review, we briefly summarize the characteristics of a (non-exhaustive) list of dark energy models as well as some of the most used cosmological samples. Next, we discuss how to constrain each model’s parameters using observational data. Finally, we summarize the status of dark energy modeling.

In the present article, we investigate the physical acceptability of the spatially homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann–Lemâitre–Robertson–Walker line element filled with two fluids, with the first being pressureless matter and the second being different types of holographic dark energy. This geometric and material content is considered within the gravitational field equations of the f(T,B) (where T is the torsion scalar and the B is the boundary term) gravity in Hubble’s cut-off. The cosmological parameters, such as the Equation of State (EoS) parameter, during the cosmic evolution, are calculated. The models are stable throughout the universe expansion. The region in which the model is presented is dependent on the real parameter δ of holographic dark energies. For all δ≥4.5, the models vary from ΛCDM era to the quintessence era.

The growth rate of matter perturbation and the expansion rate of the Universe can be used to distinguish modified gravity and dark energy models. Remarkably, the growth rate can be approximated as Ωγ. We discuss the dependence of the growth index γ on the dimensionless matter energy density Ω for a more accurate approximation of the growth factor. The observational data are used to fit different models. The data strongly disfavor the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model. For the ΛCDM model, we find that [Formula: see text]. For the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model, we find that [Formula: see text].

Within the framework of FRW cosmology, we study the QCD modified ghost scalar field models of dark energy (DE) in the presence of both interaction and viscosity. For a spatially nonflat FRW universe containing modified ghost dark energy (MGDE) and dark matter (DM), we obtain the equation of state of MGDE, the deceleration parameter as well as a differential equation governing the MGDE density parameter. We also investigate the growth of structure formation for our model in a linear perturbation regime. Furthermore, we reconstruct both the dynamics and potentials of the quintessence, tachyon, K-essence and dilaton scalar field DE models according to the evolution of the MGDE density.

The reconstruction scenario of well-established dark energy models such as pilgrim dark energy model and generalized ghost dark energy with Hubble horizon and [Formula: see text] models is being considered. We have established [Formula: see text] models and analyzed their viability through equation of state parameter and [Formula: see text] (where prime denotes derivative with respect to [Formula: see text]) plane. The equation of state parameter evolutes the universe in three different phases such as quintessence, vacuum and phantom. However, the [Formula: see text] plane also describes the thawing as well as freezing region of the universe. The recent observational data also favor our results.
