Abstract

To explore possibilities of avoiding coincidence problem in f(R)f(R) gravity we consider models in Einstein conformal frame which are equivalent to Einstein gravity with a minimally coupled scalar field. As the conformal factor determines the coupling term and hence the interaction between matter and dark energy, the function f(R)f(R) can in principle be determined by choosing an appropriate function for the deceleration parameter only. Possible behavior of f(R)f(R) to avoid coincidence problem are investigated in two such cases.
