In this paper, we investigate ghost dark energy model in the presence of nonlinear interaction between dark energy and dark matter. We also extend the analysis to the so-called generalized ghost dark energy (GGDE) which [Formula: see text]. The model contains three free parameters as [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (the coupling coefficient of interactions). We propose three kinds of nonlinear interaction terms and discuss the behavior of equation of state, deceleration and dark energy density parameters of the model. We also find the squared sound speed and search for signs of stability of the model. To compare the interacting GGDE model with observational data sets, we use more recent observational outcomes, namely SNIa from JLA catalog, Hubble parameter, baryonic acoustic oscillation and the most relevant CMB parameters including, the position of acoustic peaks, shift parameters and redshift to recombination. For GGDE with the first nonlinear interaction, the joint analysis indicates that [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at 1 optimal variance error. For the second interaction, the best fit values at [Formula: see text] confidence are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. According to combination of all observational data sets considered in this paper, the best fit values for third nonlinearly interacting model are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text] confidence interval. Finally, we found that the presence of interaction is compatible in mentioned models via current observational datasets.

We study the possibly existing anisotropy in the accelerating expansion Universe with various supernovae data, the baryon acoustic oscillation and the observational Hubble data. We present combined results from these probes, deriving constraints on the equation of state (EoS), [Formula: see text], of dark energy (DE) and its energy density in the Universe. We fit the cosmological parameters simultaneously employing the maximum likelihood analysis. By combining data and considering anisotropy effects, we find that the EoS of DE are [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] within [Formula: see text] confidence level. Finally, introducing an anisotropy appears to improve the fit to observations with respect to that provided by an isotropic [Formula: see text]CDM model.

In this paper, we use a set of observational H(z) data (OHD) to constrain the ΛCDM cosmology. This data set can be derived from the differential ages of the passively evolving galaxies. Meanwhile, the [Formula: see text]-parameter, which describes the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) peak, and the newly measured value of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) shift parameter [Formula: see text] are used to present combinational constraints on the same cosmology. The combinational constraints favor an accelerating flat universe while the flat ΛCDM cosmology is also analyzed in the same way. We obtain a result compatible with that by many other independent cosmological observations. We find that the observational H(z) data set is a complementarity to other cosmological probes.

In this work, Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe filled with dark matter (DM) (perfect fluid with negligible pressure) along with dark energy (DE) in the background of Galileon gravity is considered. Four DE models with different equation of state (EoS) parametrizations have been employed namely, linear, Chevallier–Polarski–Lindler (CPL), Jassal–Bagla–Padmanabhan (JBP) and logarithmic parametrizations. From Stern, Stern+Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) and Stern+BAO+Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) joint data analysis, we have obtained the bounds of the arbitrary parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] by minimizing the [Formula: see text] test. The best fit values and bounds of the parameters are obtained at 66%, 90% and 99% confidence levels which are shown by closed confidence contours in the figures. For the logarithmic model unbounded confidence contours are obtained and hence the model parameters could not be finitely constrained. The distance modulus [Formula: see text](z) against redshift [Formula: see text] has also been plotted for our predicted theoretical models for the best fit values of the parameters and compared with the observed Union2 data sample and SNe Type Ia 292 data and we have shown that our predicted theoretical models permits the observational datasets. From the data fitting it is seen that at lower redshifts [Formula: see text] the SNe Type Ia 292 data gives a better fit with our theoretical models compared to the Union2 data sample. So, from the data analysis, SNe Type Ia 292 data is the more favored data sample over its counterpart given the present choice of free parameters. From the study, it is also seen that the logarithmic parametrization model is less supported by the observational data. Finally, we have generated the plot for the deceleration parameter against the redshift parameter for all the theoretical models and compared the results with the work of Farooq et al., (2013).

We present a general overview of recent results in the searches for dark matter and dark energy. We discuss the observation of the collision between two clusters of galaxies, and the impact this has on the relevance of dark matter. We then present the final results from microlensing experiments, which aimed at detecting dark baryonic objects in the halo of our galaxy, and the status of direct searches for WIMPs. We present the evidence for dark energy which initially comes from experiments dedicated to the study of distant type Ia supernovae. The measure of the baryon acoustic oscillation, an independent probe of the evolution of our universe that has recently brought interesting constraints, is finally described.
