Series expansions and sudden singularities

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2013-01-29 v1

Abstract

We construct solutions of the Friedmann equations near a sudden singularity using generalized series expansions for the scale factor, the density, and the pressure of the fluid content. In this way, we are able to arrive at a solution with a sudden singularity containing two free constants, as required for a general solution of the cosmological equations.
