Choosing a phenomenological model of $\Lambda$, viz. $\Lambda \sim \dot H$, it has been shown that this model of $\Lambda$ is equivalent to other three types of $\Lambda$, $\Lambda \sim (\dot a/a)^2$, $\Lambda \sim \ddot a/a$ and $\Lambda…
It has recently been realized that many theories of physics beyond the Standard Model give rise to cosmological histories exhibiting extended epochs of cosmological stasis. During such epochs, the abundances of different energy components…
