Abstract

The curvature singularity in viable f(R) gravity models is examined when the background density is dense. This singularity could be eliminated by adding the R2R^{2} term in the Lagrangian. Some of cosmological consequences, in particular the source for the scalar mode of gravitational waves, are discussed.
