The currently accelerated expansion of our universe is unarguably one of the most intriguing problems in today’s physics research. Two realistic nonminimal torsion–matter coupling [Formula: see text] models have been established and studied in our previous papers [C. J. Feng, F. F. Ge, X. Z. Li, R. H. Lin and X. H. Zhai, Phys. Rev. D 92 (2015) 104038; R. H. Lin, X. H. Zhai and X. Z. Li, Eur. Phys. J. C 77 (2017) 504] aiming to explain this “dark energy” problem. In this paper, we study the generalized power-law torsion–matter coupling [Formula: see text] model. Dynamical system analysis shows that the three expansion phases of the universe, i.e. the radiation-dominated era, the matter-dominated era and the dark energy-dominated era, can all be reproduced in this generalized model. By using the statefinder and [Formula: see text] diagnostics, we find that the different cases of the model can be distinguished from each other and from other dark energy models such as the two models in our previous papers, [Formula: see text]CDM, quintessence and Chaplygin gas. Furthermore, the analyses also show that all kinds of generalized power-law torsion–matter coupling model are able to cross the [Formula: see text] divide from below to above, which is a realization of quintom scenario. The decrease of the energy density resulting from the crossing of [Formula: see text] will make the catastrophic fate of the universe avoided and a de Sitter expansion fate in the future will be approached.

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.

We reconstruct different f(R)-gravity models corresponding to the polytropic, standard Chaplygin, generalized Chaplygin, modified Chaplygin and modified variable Chaplygin gas dark energy (DE) models. We also obtain the equation of state (EoS) parameters of the corresponding f(R)-gravity models which describe the accelerated expansion of the universe. We conclude that although the EoS parameters of the obtained f(R)-gravities can behave like phantom or quintessence DE models, they cannot justify the transition from the quintessence state to the phantom regime. Furthermore, the polytropic and Chaplygin f(R)-gravity models in de Sitter space can satisfy the inflation condition.

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 cosmological implications of interacting pilgrim dark energy (PDE) models (with Hubble, Granda–Oliveros and generalized ghost cutoffs) with cold dark matter ([Formula: see text]CDM) in fractal cosmology by assuming the flat universe. We observe that the Hubble parameter lies within observational suggested ranges while deceleration parameter represents the accelerated expansion behavior of the universe. The equation of state (EoS) parameter ([Formula: see text]) corresponds to the quintessence region and phantom region for different cases of [Formula: see text]. Further, we can see that [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] (where prime indicates the derivative with respect to natural logarithmic of scale factor) plane describes the freezing and thawing regions and also corresponds to [Formula: see text] limit for some cases of [Formula: see text] (PDE parameter). It is also noted that the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] (state-finder parameters) plane corresponds to [Formula: see text] limit and also shows the Chaplygin as well as phantom/quintessence behavior. It is observed that pilgrim dark energy models in fractal cosmology expressed the consistent behavior with recent observational schemes.

We investigate the attractor solution in the coupled Yang–Mills field dark energy models with the general interaction term, and obtain the constraint equations for the interaction if the attractor solution exists. The research also shows that, if the attractor solution exists, the equation of state of dark energy must evolve from wy > 0 to wy ≤ -1, which is slightly suggested by the observation. At the same time, the total equation of state in the attractor solution is w tot = -1, the universe is a de Sitter expansion, and the cosmic big rip is naturally avoided. These features are all independent of the interacting forms.

Specific dark energy models, leading to the Little Rip (LR) cosmology in the far future, are investigated. Conditions for the occurrence of LR in terms of the parameters present in the proposed equation of state for the dark energy cosmic fluid are studied. Estimates about the time needed before the occurrence of the small singularity in the standard LR model in which the universe approaches the de Sitter spacetime asymptotically, are given.

We characterize a class of simple FRW models filled by both dark energy and dark matter in notion of a single potential function of the scale factor a(t); t is the cosmological time. It represents the potential of a fictitious particle — Universe moving in 1-dimensional well V(a) which the positional variable mimics the evolution of the Universe. Then the class of all dark energy models (called a multiverse) can be regarded as a Banach space naturally equipped in the structure of the Sobolev metric. In this paper, we explore the notion of C1 metric introduced in the multiverse which measures distance between any two dark energy models. If we choose cold dark matter as a reference, then we can find how far apart are different models offering explanation of the present accelerating expansion phase of the Universe. We consider both models with dark energy (models with the generalized Chaplygin gas, models with variable coefficient equation of state [Formula: see text] parameterized by redshift z, models with phantom matter) as well as models based on some modification of Friedmann equation (Cardassian models, Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati brane models). We argue that because observational data still favor the ΛCDM model, all reasonable dark energy models should belong to the nearby neighborhood of this model.

The present-day accelerated expansion of the universe is naturally addressed within the Brans–Dicke theory just by using holographic dark energy model with inverse of Hubble scale as IR cutoff and power law temporal behavior of scale factor. It is also concluded that if the universe continues to expand, then one day it might be completely filled with dark energy.

Although equivalent to general relativity, teleparallel gravity (TG) is conceptually speaking a completely different theory. In this theory, the gravitational field is described by torsion, not by curvature. By working in this context, a new model is proposed in which the four-derivative of a canonical scalar field representing dark energy is nonminimally coupled to the “vector torsion”. This type of coupling is motivated by the fact that a scalar field couples to torsion through its four-derivative, which is consistent with local spacetime kinematics regulated by the de Sitter group [Formula: see text]. It is found that the current state of accelerated expansion of the universe corresponds to a late-time attractor that can be (i) a dark energy-dominated de Sitter solution ([Formula: see text]), (ii) a quintessence-type solution with [Formula: see text], or (iii) a phantom-type [Formula: see text] dark energy.

Different models of the cosmic substratum which pretend to describe the present stage of accelerated expansion of the Universe, like the ΛCDM model or the Chaplygin gas, can be seen as special realizations of a holographic dark energy cosmology if the option of an interaction between pressureless dark matter and dark energy is taken seriously. The corresponding interaction strength parameter plays the role of a cosmological constant. Differences occur at the perturbative level. In particular, the pressure perturbations are intrinsically nonadiabatic.
