We examine a quintessence model with a modified exponential potential given by $V(\phi) = V_0(1+e^{-\lambda \phi})$. Unlike quintessence with a standard exponential potential, our model can yield an acceptable accelerated expansion at late…

We study the accelerating present universe in terms of the time evolution of the equation of state $w(z)$ (redshift $z$) due to thawing and freezing scalar potentials in the quintessence model. The values of $dw/da$ and $d^2w/da^2$ at scale…
