Modified Chaplygin gas with viscous fluid in FRW cosmology

Considering the modified viscous Chaplygin gas as the form of dark energy contained in the Universe, we study the interaction of dark energy with other components like electromagnetic field comprising the Universe. It is incidentally found that the interaction effect behaves like the electric charge from an electromagnetic field showing the possibility that a part of the dark energy can be utilized in the form of electrical energy. Further, from studying geometrical and physical behaviors of the evolution of this model Universe, it can be rightly said that this derived model behaves as the actual Universe.

On multifluid perturbations in scalar–tensor cosmology

In this paper, the scalar–tensor theory is applied to the study of perturbations in a multifluid universe, using the [Formula: see text] covariant approach. Both scalar and harmonic decompositions are instituted on the perturbation equations. In particular, as an application, we study perturbations on a background Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology consisting of both radiation and dust in the presence of a scalar field. We consider both radiation-dominated and dust-dominated epochs, respectively, and study the results. During the analysis, quasi-static approximation is instituted. It is observed that the fluctuations of the energy density decrease with increasing redshift, for different values of [Formula: see text] of a power-law [Formula: see text] model.

FRW string cosmological solutions via Hojman symmetry

In this paper, we find exact string cosmological solutions for FRW cosmology, by using the Hojman symmetry approach. The string cosmology under consideration includes a scalar field [Formula: see text] with the potential [Formula: see text], and a totally antisymmetric field strength [Formula: see text] which is specifically defined in terms of the scale factor [Formula: see text]. We show that for this string cosmology, Hojman conserved quantities exist using which new exact solutions for the scale factor and the scalar field are obtained for specific potentials [Formula: see text] with some free parameters. The presence of these parameters, together with those of arising from Hojman symmetry, is an important advantage using which one can construct the solutions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with variety of cosmological behaviors.

Viscous Matter in FRW Cosmology

We investigate the dynamics of dust matter with bulk viscosity effects. We explored the analogy dynamical problem to Chaplygin gas. Due to this analogy we give exact solutions for the FRW cosmology with viscosity coefficient parameterized by the Belinskii–Khalatnikov power law dependence with respect to energy density. These exact solutions are given in the form of hypergeometrical functions. We proved simple theorem which illustrated as viscosity effects can solved the initial singularity problem present in standard cosmological model.

Nonlinear Schrödinger-type formulation of scalar field cosmology: Two barotropic fluids and exact solutions

Time-independent nonlinear Schrödinger-type (NLS) formulation of FRW cosmology with canonical scalar field is considered in the case of two barotropic fluids. We derived Friedmann formulation variables in terms of NLS variables. Seven exact solutions found by D’Ambroise [Ph.D. thesis, arXiv:1005.1410 ] and one new found solution are explored and tested in cosmology. The result suggests that time-independent NLS formulation of cosmology case should be upgraded to the time-dependent case.

Applying He's variational iteration method to FRW cosmology

This work is devoted to the investigation of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmological models with the help of the so-called Variational Iteration Method (VIM). For this end, we briefly recall the main equations of the cosmological models and the basic idea of VIM. In order to approbate the VIM in FRW cosmology and demonstrate the main steps in solving by this method, we consider the test example of the universe with dust for which the exact solution of the model is known. Then, a solution for the spatially flat FRW model of the universe filled with the dust and quintessence is obtained when the exact analytic solution cannot be found. A comparison of our solution with the corresponding numerical solution shows that it is of a high degree of accuracy. Moreover, the Dynamical System Analysis to the dynamics of the homogeneous and isotropic FRW universes is used as a special case of generalized Lotka–Volterra system where the competitive species are the barotropic fluids filling the Universe. With the help of VIM, we have found the iterative formulae for the density parameters of the cosmological analog of the generalized Lotka–Volterra set of equations. All solutions illustrated graphically by means of Maple software.
