Abstract

For a class of viable cosmological models in f(R)f(R) gravity which deviation from the Einstein gravity decreases as a inverse power law of the Ricci scalar RR for large RR, an analytic solution for density perturbations in the matter component during the matter dominated stage is obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. An analytical expression for the matter transfer function at scales much less than the present Hubble scale is also obtained.
