We consider FRW cosmology in $f(R)= R+ \gamma R^2+\delta R^3$ modified framework. The Palatini approach reduces its dynamics to the simple generalization of Friedmann equation. Thus we study the dynamics in two-dimensional phase space with…
Palatini $f(R)$ gravity is probably the simplest extension of general relativity (GR) and the simplest realization of a metric-affine theory. It has the same number of degrees of freedom as GR and, in vacuum, it is straightforwardly mapped…
Modern astrophysical and cosmological models are plagued with two severe theoretical difficulties, namely, the dark energy and the dark matter problems. Relative to the former, high-precision observational data have confirmed with startling…

In this paper, we investigate and analyze the cosmological dynamics of the universe, with an effect of modified $f(R)$ gravity emerging at cosmological scale. We choose the Einstein frame as a physical frame. We consider phase portraits of…
We consider the cosmologies that arise in a subclass of f(R) gravity with f(R)=R+\mu ^{2n+2}/(-R)^{n} and -1<n<0 in the metric (as opposed to the Palatini) variational approach to deriving the gravitational field equations. The calculations…
