The cosmological observation indicates that the effective equation of state parameter w eff varies with z: it changes from w eff > -1 to w eff < -1 at z~0.2. We investigate under which condition it exhibits such behaviors based on the five-dimensional braneworld scenario. It is possible in the model with or without an energy exchange between the four-dimensional universe and the fifth dimension. However the curves of w eff are quite different between the two cases.

We consider the agegraphic models of dark energy in a braneworld scenario with brane–bulk energy exchange. We assume that the adiabatic equation for the dark matter is satisfied while it is violated for the agegraphic dark energy due to the energy exchange between the brane and the bulk. Our study shows that with the brane–bulk interaction, the equation of state parameter of agegraphic dark energy on the brane, wD, can have a transition from the normal state, where wD > -1, to the phantom regime, where wD < -1, while the effective equation of state for dark energy always satisfies [Formula: see text].

A slightly different power law-scaling fits to the picture of our 13.7 billion years old flat universe which is expanding presently at 67 km/s/Mpc with an acceleration. The model which is an attempt to retain power-law scaling in the light of the accepted facts about the universe we are living in, has a constant effective equation of state parameter as the cosmic fluid is a solution of matter, radiation and dark energy. It is successful in explaining the acceleration of universe which the normal power law fails if the present Hubble parameter is 67 km/s/Mpc and age of the universe is 13.7 billion years, and it is free from the defect of singularity.

Dynamical system analysis of a universe model which contains matter, radiation and quintessence with exponential potential, [Formula: see text], is studied in the light of recent observations and the tensions between different datasets. The three-dimensional phase space is constructed by the energy density parameters and all the critical points of the model with their physical meanings are investigated. This approach provides an easy way of comparing the model directly with the observations. We consider a solution that is compatible with observations and is continuous in the phase space in both directions of time, past and future. Although in many studies of late-time acceleration, the radiation is neglected, here we consider all components together and this makes the calculated effective equation of state parameter more realistic. Additionally, a relation between potential parameter, [Formula: see text], and the value of quintessence equation of state parameter, [Formula: see text], today is found by using numerical analysis. We conclude that [Formula: see text] has to be small in order to explain the current accelerated phase of the universe and this result can be seen directly from the relation we obtain. Finally, we compare the usual dynamical system approach with the approach that we follow in this paper.

We study a new reheating approach in the framework of standard and braneworld inflation. Using the technique developed in Ref. 1, we consider a small field arctangent potential and show that this approach can be similarly applied within Randall–Sundrum type 2 scenario and provide additional constraints to reheating temperature [Formula: see text] and duration of reheating [Formula: see text]. We found that in brane case the effective equation-of-state parameter [Formula: see text] must be close to 1, to satisfy Planck-2018 joint constraints on [Formula: see text].

The present paper is devoted to exploring the effect of bulk viscosity in the context of F(T, TG) gravity. We consider a time-dependent viscosity model with a particular expression of Hubble parameter. We evaluate viscous effective equation of state parameter for three well-known F(T, TG) models. The behavior of the accelerated expanding universe is explored graphically through the viscous equation of state parameter. This parameter indicates the phantom-dominated era as well as crosses the phantom divide line for all three models. We conclude that the universe shows a transition from quintessence to phantom region in the presence of bulk viscosity.

This paper is devoted to study the cosmological behavior of homogeneous and isotropic universe model in the context of f(R,Tφ) gravity, where φ is the scalar field. For this purpose, we follow the first-order formalism defined by H=W(φ). We evaluate Hubble parameter, effective equation of state parameter (ωeff), deceleration parameter, and potential of scalar field for three different values of W(φ). We obtain phantom era in some cases for the early times. It is found that exponential expression of W(φ) yields ωeff independent of time for flat universe and independent of model parameter otherwise. It is concluded that our model corresponds to ΛCDM for both initial and late times.

In this work, we investigate constraints on the reheating era within the framework of supersymmetry flat direction inflation. We express the e-folding number during reheating Nre and the final reheating temperature Tre as functions of the scalar spectral index ns, and compare the numerical results with current bounds given by the Planck 2015 data (Planck Collab. Astron. Astrophys. 594, A20 (2016). doi: 10.1051/0004-6361/201525898 ). Moreover, we express the inflationary observable quantities in terms of the duration of reheating Nre and the effective equation-of-state parameter of the reheating fluid ωre, and constrain the reheating processes in the Nre–ωre plane.

Reheating is a process by which the inflaton’s energy density transfers to conventional matter after cosmic inflation. Currently, there is no cosmic observational evidence to directly detect the reheating era, but it may impose additional constraints on inflationary models. Depending upon the model, e-folding number during reheating [Formula: see text] and the final reheating temperature [Formula: see text], as well as its effective equation of state parameter [Formula: see text], may be directly linked to the inflation observables such as the scalar spectral index [Formula: see text] and the tensor-to-scalar ratio [Formula: see text]. By restricting the values of the effective equation of state parameter observationally, one can derive more stringent limits on inflationary models than those obtained from other routes. In this paper, we are interested to consider the reheating era in an inflation model with a nonminimal derivative coupling of the scalar field to impose some severe constraints on the parameter space of the model in the light of Planck 2018 data. We study the reheating final temperature and e-folds number in terms of the scalar spectral index and [Formula: see text] within a numerical analysis on the model’s parameter space. To realize a viable range of the reheating equation of state parameter in this nonminimal derivative inflation model, we obtain some observationally acceptable subspaces in the [Formula: see text] phase plane. To this end, we consider some sort of polynomial potentials to obtain some constraints on the model’s parameter space which corresponds to viable values of the scalar spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio released by Planck 2018 TT+TE+EE+LowE observational data. Finally, we compare the obtained constraints in this nonminimal set-up with those derived from a single, minimally coupled scalar field inflation model to reveal the physics of the reheating in the context of nonminimal derivative inflation model.

In this paper, we present two viscous models of non-perfect fluid by avoiding the introduction of exotic dark energy. We consider the first model in terms of deceleration parameter [Formula: see text] has a viscosity of the form [Formula: see text] and the other model in quadratic form of [Formula: see text] of the type [Formula: see text]. In this framework we find the solutions of field equations by using inhomogeneous equation of state of form [Formula: see text] with equation of state parameter [Formula: see text] is constant and [Formula: see text].
