Abstract
An introduction to solutions of the Einstein equations defining cosmological models with accelerated expansion is given. Connections between mathematical and physical issues are explored. Theorems which have been proved for solutions with positive cosmological constant or nonlinear scalar fields are reviewed. Some remarks are made on more exotic models such as the Chaplygin gas, tachyons and -essence.
