We demonstrate that a wide range of viable f(R) parameterizations (including the Hu & Sawicki and the Starobinsky models) can be expressed as perturbations deviating from the LCDM Lagrangian. We constrain the deviation parameter b using a…

Instead of assuming a form of gravity and demand cosmology fit with $\Lambda CDM$, a potentially `viable' $f(R)$ gravity model is derived assuming an alternative model of cosmology. Taking the `designer' approach to $f(R)$, a new class of…

We propose a new model of cosmology based on an anisotropic background and a specific $f(R)$ theory of gravity. It is shown that field equations of $f(R)$ gravity in a Bianchi type I background give rise to a modified Friedmann equation.…
