We show that a solution to the the coincidence problem can be found in the context of a generic class of dark energy models with a scalar field, $\phi$, with a linear effective potential $V(\phi)$. We determine the fraction, $f$, of the…

The energy density of a scalar field $\phi$ with potential $V(\phi) \propto \phi^{-\alpha}$, $\alpha > 0$, behaves like a time-variable cosmological constant that could contribute significantly to the present energy density. Predictions of…
