Abstract

We propose a postulate q˙=MH\dot{q} =MH concerning temporal variation of quintessence field qq where HH is Hubble parameter (=a˙/a=\dot{a}/a) and MM is the scale characterizing the field. Using the postulate we uniquely determines a dynamical model of the field. The potential of the field satisfies the tracking condition. The minimum of the total energy density of matter and the field is located at a=a=\infty. We show that the present tiny dark energy is caused by early inflation, while the energy is comparable to Planck scale before the inflation. Since the model is reduced to Λ\LambdaCDM model in the limit M0M\to 0, it is a natural generalization of Λ\LambdaCDM model.
