Abstract
It is well known that, in the context of general relativity, an unknown kind of matter that must violate the strong energy condition is required to explain the current accelerated phase of expansion of the Universe. This unknown component is called dark energy and is characterized by an equation of state parameter . Thermodynamic stability requires that and positiveness of entropy that . In this paper we proof that we cannot obtain a differentiable function to represent the dark energy that satisfies these conditions trough the entire history of the Universe.
