An interacting dark energy model with interaction term $Q= \lambda_m H\rho_m+\lambda_dH\rho_d$ is considered. By studying the model near the transition time, in which the system crosses the w=-1 phantom-divide-line, the conditions needed to…
We perform a comparative phase space analysis of the light mass Galileon model and standard Quintessence in the context of late--time cosmic acceleration. Focusing on a spatially flat FLRW background, we consider a cubic Galileon…
Quintessence theories for cosmic acceleration imbue dark energy with a non-trivial dynamics that offers hope in distinguishing the physical origin of the component. We review quintessence models with an emphasis on this dynamics and discuss…

Dynamical models for dark energy are an alternative to the cosmological constant. It is important to investigate properties of perturbations in these models and go beyond the smooth FRLW cosmology. This allows us to distinguish different…
It is possible that there exist some interactions between dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM), and a suitable interaction can alleviate the coincidence problem. Several phenomenological interacting forms are proposed and are fitted with…
We consider systems of many spatially distributed phase oscillators that interact with their neighbors. Each oscillator is allowed to have a different natural frequency, as well as a different response time to the signals it receives from…
In this paper, we investigate the freezing quintessence scenario in late-time cosmic expansion using a non-linear $f(R, L_m)$ gravity model, $f(R,L_m)=\frac{R}{2}+L_m^\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is a free parameter. We consider a solution for…
It is argued that cosmological models that feature a flow of energy from dark energy to dark matter may solve the coincidence problem of late acceleration (i.e., "why the energy densities of both components are of the same order precisely…

Colloidal fluids can exhibit complex phase behavior and determining phase diagrams via experiments or computer simulations can be laborious. We demonstrate that the dispersion relation $\omega(k)$, obtained from dynamical density functional…
