Abstract

In the present paper we consider f(R)f(R) gravity theories in the metric approach and we derive the equations of motion, focusing also on the boundary conditions. In such a way we apply the general equations to a first order perturbation expansion of the Lagrangian. We present a model able to fit supernovae data without introducing dark energy.
