New HDE models with higher derivatives of the Hubble parameter $H$
Abstract
In this work, we investigate two Dark Energy (DE) models characterized by higher-order derivatives of the Hubble parameter , which generalize previously proposed DE scenarios. Assuming a power-law form of the scale factor given by , we derive analytical expressions for the DE energy density, pressure, the Equation of State (EoS) parameter, the deceleration parameter and the evolutionary form of the fractional DE density. Both non-interacting and interacting dark sector frameworks are examined, with the interaction modeled through a coupling term proportional to the Dark Matter (DM) energy density. For specific parameter sets corresponding to power-law indices , , and , we compute the present age of the Universe. The values obtained slightly deviate from the observationally inferred age of Gyr; moreover, a systematic trend is identified, with larger leading to higher ages. Furthermore, interacting scenarios consistently predict larger ages compared to their non-interacting counterparts. These results highlight the phenomenological viability and limitations of higher-derivative DE models in describing the cosmic evolution.
