Abstract

We explore the cosmic expansion history within the framework of Galileon gravity by employing a redshift-based expression for the Hubble rate, H(z)H(z), derived from the CPL parametrization ωDE(z)=ω0+ωaz1+z\omega_{DE}(z)=\omega_{0}+\omega_{a}\frac{z}{1+z}. This parametrization allows for a time-dependent expansion history consistent with the non-linear Galileon field equations. To constrain the model parameters, we perform a MCMC analysis using 4646 Hubble parameter measurements, DESI DR2 BAO data and 17011701 Pantheon+ datasets. The best fit values obtained are H0=67.70431.4102+1.4354H_0 = 67.7043^{+1.4354}_{-1.4102} km/s/Mpc, Ωm0=0.26680.0217+0.0212\Omega_{m0} = 0.2668^{+0.0212}_{-0.0217}, ω0=0.88270.0967+0.1076\omega_0 = -0.8827^{+0.1076}_{-0.0967} and ωa=0.00110.0622+0.0660\omega_a = 0.0011^{+0.0660}_{-0.0622}. Model comparison using information criteria yields ΔAIC=1.46\Delta AIC=1.46 and ΔBIC=11.5\Delta BIC = 11.5 indicating that the Galileon model is a strong contender to the Λ\LambdaCDM model. The deceleration parameter shows a transition at ztr=0.7873z_{tr} = 0.7873, with q0=0.598q_0 = -0.598. Energy density and pressure remain physically viable with ρde(z)>0\rho_{de}(z)>0 and pde(z)<0p_{de}(z)<0 with the present day equation of state ω(z)\omega(z) value of 0.2915-0.2915, which suggests mild dynamical dark energy. NEC and DECare satisfied, while SEC is violated. The model yields r0=0.657r_{0}=0.657, s0=0.1173s_{0}=0.1173 and Om diagnostic shows a peak value of 0.45-0.45 at z=0.377z = 0.377, converging to 1-1 at late times.These results demonstrate that Galileon gravity remains a viable and flexible alternative to Λ\LambdaCDM in describing late-time cosmic acceleration.
