We consider a class of toy models where a spatially flat universe is filled with a perfect fluid. The dynamics is found exactly for all these models. In one family, the perfect fluid is of the phantom type and we find that the universe is…
The dark energy model with the equation of state p_d=-rho_d - A rho_d^alpha is studied. The model comprises and provides realization of several types of singularities in different parameter regimes: the divergence of the dark energy density…
Is the universe finite or infinite, and what shape does it have? These fundamental questions, of which relatively little is known, are typically studied within the context of the standard model of cosmology where the universe is assumed to…
We investigate the Einstein static universe (ESU) and the emergent universe scenario in the framework of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz-like $F(R)$ gravity. We first perform a dynamical analysis in the phase space, and amongst others we show that a…
A general formalism recently proposed to study Newtonian polytropes for anisotropic fluids is here extended to the relativistic regime. Thus, it is assumed that a polytropic equation of state is satisfied by, both, the radial and the…
Using non-linear equation of state for pressure and density energy, we show that the universe is began with a smooth and isotropic bounce. We use a non-linear equation of state which is a binary mixture of perfect fluid and dark energy. We…
We consider certain aspects of cosmological dynamics of a spatially curved Universe in $f(T)$ gravity. Local analysis allows us to find conditions for bounces and for static solutions; these conditions appear to be in general less…
For a singularly perturbed system of reaction--diffusion equations, assuming that the 0th order solutions in regular and singular regions are all stable, we construct matched asymptotic expansions for formal solutions to any desired order…
In braneworld models a variable vacuum energy may appear if the size of the extra dimension changes during the evolution of the universe. In this scenario the acceleration of the universe is related not only to the variation of the…
We consider a nonlinear parabolic model that forces solutions to stay on a $L^2$-sphere through a nonlocal term in the equation. We study the local and global well-posedness on a bounded domain and the whole Euclidean space in the energy…
We extend the Van der Waals equation of state to a universal form and find that the van der Waals equation of state is a special condition of this form. Then a good form of the equation of state for a balanced liquid-gas coexistence…
One signature of an expanding universe is the time-variation of the cosmological abundances of its different components. For example, a radiation-dominated universe inevitably gives way to a matter-dominated universe, and critical moments…
A calculation of the no-boundary wave-function of the universe is put forward for a spacetime with negative curvature. A semi-classical Robertson-Walker approximation is attempted and two solutions to the field equations, one Lorentzian and…
The Einstein's field equations of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universes filled with a dissipative fluid described by both the {\em truncated} and {\em non-truncated} causal transport equations are analyzed using techniques from dynamical…
The general exact solution of the Einstein-matter field equations describing spherically symmetric shells satisfying an equation of state in closed form is discussed under general assumptions of physical reasonableness. The solutions split…
In the present work, the flat FLRW Universe has been modelled with cosmic matter in the form of diffusive barotropic fluid. The diffusive fluid undergoes dissipation due to diffusion mechanism in the form of cosmological scalar field. From…
We assume that dark matter and dark energy satisfy the unified equation of state: $p=B(z)\rho$, with $p=p_{dE}$, $\rho=\rho_{dm}+\rho_{dE}$, where the pressure of dark matter $p_{dm}=0$ has been taken into account. A special function…
In this paper we study cosmological solutions to the Einstein--Euler equations. We first establish the future stability of nonlinear perturbations of a class of homogeneous solutions to the relativistic Euler equations on fixed linearly…
We derive a general formalism for bulk viscous solutions of the energy-conservation-equation for $\rho(a,\zeta)$, both for a single-component and a multicomponent fluid in the Friedmann universe. For our purposes these general solutions…
Following the observational evidence for cosmic acceleration which may exclude a possibility for the universe to recollapse to a second singularity, we review alternative scenarios of its future evolution. Although the de Sitter asymptotic…
