Abstract

Recently, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Data Release 2 (DESI DR2) suggests that the dark energy in our universe might be evolving, favoring the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parameterization and a lower Hubble constant. In our previous work, it has been reported that cosmological model with the non-singular bounce inflation (BI) scenario and Λ\LambdaCDM might alleviate the Hubble tension into 3σ\sigma confidence. In this paper, we study the cosmological model of BI with a dynamical dark energy. We find that individual consideration of the CPL parameterization and the data \texttt{DESI DR2} tend to larger Hubble constants for both BI and power law (PL) case with cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. Employing BI with combined CPL parameterization and \texttt{DESI DR2}, we obtain the Hubble constant H0=65.22.2+1.8 kms1Mpc1H_ 0 = 65.2^{ + 1.8}_{ - 2.2} \ \mathrm{km} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{ -1 } \cdot \mathrm{Mpc}^{ -1 }, which is larger than H0=64.0±2.1 kms1Mpc1H_ 0 = 64.0 \pm 2.1 \ \mathrm{km} \cdot \mathrm{s}^{ -1 } \cdot \mathrm{Mpc}^{ -1 } for the PL case. After considering nontrivial weak lensing effect and spatial curvature as well as adding \texttt{Pantheon+}, BI fits 3.1σ\sigma confidence of Λ\LambdaCDM with w0=0.919±0.038w_ 0 = -0.919 \pm 0.038 and wa=0.37±0.12w_{ \mathrm{a}} = -0.37 \pm 0.12, and it prefers evolving dark energy than the PL case with w0=0.960±0.074w_ 0 = -0.960 \pm 0.074 and wa=0.150.25+0.28w_{ \mathrm{a}} = -0.15^{ +0.28}_{ -0.25}.
