When analysing a system consisting of both dark matter and dark energy, an often used practice in the literature is to neglect the perturbations in the dark energy component. However, it has recently been argued, through the use of…
If general relativity is the correct theory of physics on large scales, then there is a differential equation that relates the Hubble expansion function, inferred from measurements of angular diameter distance and luminosity distance, to…
The dark energy models with variable equation of state parameter $\omega$ is investigated by using law of variation of Hubble's parameter that yields the constant value of deceleration parameter. The equation of state parameter $\omega$ is…

The $\Lambda CDM$ expansion could be mimicked by a dark energy coupled to matter. Then, the equation of state $\bar w$ and coupling $\bar Q$ of this coupled dark energy could not be constrained by observations of the Hubble function alone.…
