Abstract

Using a model-independent analysis method which bases on the Lagrange mean value theorem for obtaining the derivative of the Hubble function, we analyze H(z)H(z) parameter data with some restrictive conditions. We find that: (a) the Universe may experience an accelerated expansion with a confidence level greater than 5 σ\sigma at redshift z101(0,0.36)z_{101}\in (0, 0.36) and greater than 1.9 σ\sigma at redshifts z3835(1.3,1.53)z_{3835}\in (1.3, 1.53) and z3836(1.43,1.53)z_{3836}\in (1.43, 1.53), where zj<zij<ziz_j<z_{ij}<z_i and ii marks the ii-th Hubble parameter data we consider; (b) the Universe may experience a decelerated expansion with a confidence level greater than 1.5 σ\sigma at redshift z2012(0.40,0.52)z_{2012}\in (0.40, 0.52); (c) wxwt<1w_{\rm{x}}\leq w_{\rm{t}}<-1 with confidence level great than 1.6 σ\sigma at redshift z3836(1.43,1.53)z_{3836}\in (1.43, 1.53). These results indicate that the evolution of dark energy may be oscillatory.
