Dark energy models account for the present accelerated expansion of the universe. Many models were suggested and investigated, based on very different physical principles. We will review some representative models emphasizing similarities and differences between these various approaches.

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 this paper, we consider the flat FRW spacetime filled with interacting dark energy and dark matter in fractal universe. We work with the three models of dark energy named as Tsallis, Renyi and Sharma–Mittal. We investigate different cosmological implications such as equation of state parameter, squared speed of sound, deceleration parameter, statefinder parameters, ω e f f - ω e f f ´ (where prime indicates the derivative with respect to ln a , and a is cosmic scale factor) plane and Om diagnostic. We explore these parameters graphically to study the evolving universe. We compare the consistency of dark energy models with the accelerating universe observational data. All three models are stable in fractal universe and support accelerated expansion of the universe.

In this paper, we investigate the statefinder, the deceleration and equation of state parameters when universe is composed of generalized holographic dark energy or generalized Ricci dark energy for Bianchi I universe model. These parameters are found for both interacting as well as noninteracting scenarios of generalized holographic or generalized Ricci dark energy with dark matter and generalized Chaplygin gas. We explore these parameters graphically for different situations. It is concluded that these models represent accelerated expansion of the universe.

In this work, we reconstruct the f(R) modified gravity for different ghost and generalized-ghost dark energy (DE) models in FRW flat universe, which describes the accelerated expansion of the universe. The equation of state and deceleration parameter of reconstructed f(R) gravity have been calculated. The equation of state and deceleration parameter of reconstructed f(R)-ghost/generalized-ghost DE, have been calculated. We show that the corresponding f(R) gravity of ghost/generalized-ghost DE model can behave like phantom or quintessence. Also the transition between deceleration to acceleration regime is indicated by deceleration parameter diagram for reconstructed f(R) generalized-ghost DE model.

The propagation of weak gravitational waves on the background of dark energy is studied. The consideration is carried out within the framework of an approximate approach where the cosmological scale factor is expanded as a power series for relatively small values of the redshift corresponding to the epoch of the present accelerated expansion of the universe. For several different dark energy models, we obtain dispersion relations for gravitational waves which can be used to estimate the viability of every specific model by comparing with observational data.

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.

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.

We investigate the recently proposed holographic dark energy models with the apparent horizon as the IR cutoff by assuming Kaniadakis and generalized Tsallis entropies in the fractal universe. The implications of these models are discussed for both the interacting ( Γ = 3 H b 2 ρ m ) and noninteracting ( b 2 = 0 ) cases through different cosmological parameters. Accelerated expansion of the universe is justified for both models through deceleration parameter q . In this way, the equation of state parameter ω d describes the phantom and quintessence phases of the universe. However, the coincidence parameter r ~ = Ω m / Ω d shows the dark energy- and dark matter-dominated eras for different values of parameters. It is also mentioned here that the squared speed of sound gives the stability of the model except for the interacting case of the generalized Tsallis holographic dark energy model. It is mentioned here that the current dark energy models at the apparent horizon give consistent results with recent observations.

The contribution of vacuum fluctuations to the cosmological constant is reconsidered studying the dependence on the used regularisation scheme. Then alternative explanations for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe in the present epoch are introduced which either modify gravity or add a new component of matter, dubbed dark energy. The chapter closes with some comments on attempts to quantise gravity.

We discuss the interacting modified QCD ghost dark energy and generalized ghost pilgrim dark energy with cold dark matter in the framework of dynamical Chern–Simons modified gravity. We investigate the cosmological parameters such as Hubble parameter, deceleration parameter and equation of state. We also discuss the physical significance of various cosmological planes like [Formula: see text] and statefinders. It is found that the results of cosmological parameters as well as planes explain the accelerated expansion of the Universe and are compatible with observational data.
