Current and upcoming surveys will measure the cosmological parameters with an extremely high accuracy. The primary goal of these observations is to eliminate some of the currently viable cosmological models created to explain the late-time accelerated expansion (either real or only inferred). However, most of the statistical tests used in cosmology have a strong requirement: the use of a model to fit the data. Recently there has been an increased interest on finding tests that are model independent, i.e. to have a function that depends entirely on observed quantities and not on the model, see for instance [C. Clarkson, B. Bassett and T. H. C. Lu, Phys. Rev. Lett.101 (2008) 011301, arXiv:0712.3457 [astro-ph]]. In this paper, we present an alternative consistency check at the perturbative level for a homogeneous and isotropic Universe filled with a dark energy component. This test makes use of the growth of matter perturbations data and it is able to detect a deviation from the standard cosmological model, which could later be attributed to a clustering dark energy component, a tension in the data or a modification of gravity, within the framework of a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) universe.

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.

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.

In order to investigate more features of the Brans–Dicke cosmology in the five-dimensional spacetime, we explore the solutions of its dynamical systems. A behavior of the universe in its early and late time by means of the scale factor is considered. As a result, we show that it is possible to avoid the big rip singularity and to cross the phantom divide line. Furthermore, we review the dark energy component of the universe and its agreement with the observation data for this 3-brane Brans–Dicke cosmology by means of the cosmological parameters.

We investigate the cosmological dynamics of interacting dark energy models in which the interaction function is nonlinear in terms of the energy densities. Considering explicitly the interaction between a pressureless dark matter and a scalar field, minimally coupled to Einstein gravity, we explore the dynamics of the spatially flat FLRW universe for the exponential potential of the scalar field. We perform the stability analysis for three nonlinear interaction models of our consideration through the analysis of critical points and we investigate the cosmological parameters and discuss the physical behavior at the critical points. From the analysis of the critical points we find a number of possibilities that include the stable late-time accelerated solution, [Formula: see text]CDM-like solution, radiation-like solution and moreover the unstable inflationary solution.

In this work, we propose a non-interacting model of Barrow holographic dark energy (BHDE) using Barrow entropy in a spatially flat FLRW Universe considering the IR cutoff as the Hubble horizon. We study the evolutionary history of important cosmological parameters, in particular, deceleration parameter, equation of state (EoS) parameter, the BHDE and matter density parameter, and also observe satisfactory behaviors in the BHDE model. The stability of the BHDE model has been examined by squared sound speed [Formula: see text]. In addition, to describe the accelerated expansion of the Universe, the correspondence of the BHDE model with the quintessence scalar field has been reconstructed.

We have analyzed the Barrow holographic dark energy (BHDE) in the framework of flat FLRW universe by considering the various estimations of Barrow exponent △. Here, we define BHDE, by applying the usual holographic principle at a cosmological system, for utilizing the Barrow entropy rather than the standard Bekenstein–Hawking. To understand the recent accelerated expansion of the universe, consider the Hubble horizon as the IR cutoff. The cosmological parameters, especially the density parameter [Formula: see text], the equation of the state parameter [Formula: see text], energy density [Formula: see text] and the deceleration parameter [Formula: see text] are studied in this paper and found the satisfactory behaviors. Moreover we additionally focus on the two geometric diagnostics, the statefinder [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] to discriminant BHDE model from the [Formula: see text]CDM model. Here we determined and plotted the trajectories of evolution for statefinder [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] diagnostic plane to understand the geometrical behavior of the BHDE model by utilizing Planck 2018 observational information. Finally, we have explored the new Barrow exponent △, which strongly affects the dark energy equation of state that can lead it to lie in the quintessence regime, phantom regime and exhibits the phantom-divide line during the cosmological evolution.

In this work, we construct an interacting model of the Rényi holographic dark energy in the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity using Rényi entropy in a spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker Universe considering the infrared cut-off as the Hubble horizon. In this setup, we then study the evolutionary history of some important cosmological parameters, in particular, deceleration parameter, Hubble parameter, equation of state parameter, and Rényi holographic dark energy density parameter in both nonflat Universe and flat Universe scenarios and also observe satisfactory behaviors of these parameters in the model. We find that during the evolution, the present model can give rise to a late-time accelerated expansion phase for the Universe preceded by a decelerated expansion phase for both flat and nonflat cases. Moreover, we obtain ω D → − 1 as z → − 1 , which indicates that this model behaves like the cosmological constant at the future. The stability analysis for the distinct estimations of the Rényi parameter δ and coupling coefficient b 2 has been analyzed. The results indicate that the model is stable at the late time.

In this paper, we study the [Formula: see text] gravity model in the presence of bulk viscosity by the flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker metric. The field equation is obtained by teleparallel gravity with a tetrad field. The universe components are considered matter and dark energy, with the dark energy component associated with viscous [Formula: see text] gravity. After calculating the Friedmann equations, we obtain the energy density, pressure, and equation of state of dark energy in terms of the redshift parameter. Afterward, we plot the corresponding cosmological parameters versus the redshift parameter and examine the accelerated expansion of the universe. In the end, we explore the system stability using a function called the speed sound parameter.

We consider the power law and the entropy corrected holographic dark energy (HDE) models with Hubble horizon in the dynamical Chern–Simons modified gravity. We explore various cosmological parameters and planes in this framework. The Hubble parameter lies within the consistent range at the present and later epoch for both entropy corrected models. The deceleration parameter explains the accelerated expansion of the universe. The equation of state (EoS) parameter corresponds to quintessence and cold dark matter ([Formula: see text]CDM) limit. The [Formula: see text] approaches to [Formula: see text]CDM limit and freezing region in both entropy corrected models. The statefinder parameters are consistent with [Formula: see text]CDM limit and dark energy (DE) models. The generalized second law of thermodynamics remain valid in all cases of interacting parameter. It is interesting to mention here that our results of Hubble, EoS parameter and [Formula: see text] plane show consistency with the present observations like Planck, WP, BAO, [Formula: see text], SNLS and nine-year WMAP.

We discuss bulk viscous cosmological models. Since the bulk viscous pressure is negative, viable viscous cosmological scenarios with late time accelerated expansion can in principle be constructed. After discussing some alternative models based on bulk viscous effects we will focus on a model very similar to the standard ΛvCDM. We argue that a ΛvCDM model, where we assign a very small (albeit perceptible) bulk viscosity to dark matter is in agreement with available cosmological observations. Hence, we work with the concept of viscous Cold Dark Matter (vCDM). At the level of the perturbations, the growth of vCDM structures is slightly suppressed when compared with the standard CDM ones. Having in mind that the small scale problems of the ΛCDM model are related to an excess of clustering, our proposal seems to indicate a possible direction for solving the serious drawbacks of the CDM paradigm within the standard cosmological model.
