We characterize a class of simple FRW models filled by both dark energy and dark matter in notion of a single potential function of the scale factor a(t); t is the cosmological time. It represents the potential of a fictitious particle — Universe moving in 1-dimensional well V(a) which the positional variable mimics the evolution of the Universe. Then the class of all dark energy models (called a multiverse) can be regarded as a Banach space naturally equipped in the structure of the Sobolev metric. In this paper, we explore the notion of C1 metric introduced in the multiverse which measures distance between any two dark energy models. If we choose cold dark matter as a reference, then we can find how far apart are different models offering explanation of the present accelerating expansion phase of the Universe. We consider both models with dark energy (models with the generalized Chaplygin gas, models with variable coefficient equation of state [Formula: see text] parameterized by redshift z, models with phantom matter) as well as models based on some modification of Friedmann equation (Cardassian models, Dvali–Gabadadze–Porrati brane models). We argue that because observational data still favor the ΛCDM model, all reasonable dark energy models should belong to the nearby neighborhood of this model.

In this work, we have made an attempt to investigate the dark energy possibility from the thermodynamical point of view. For this purpose, we have studied thermodynamic stability of three popular dark energy models in the framework of an expanding, homogeneous, isotropic and spatially flat FRW Universe filled with dark energy and cold dark matter. The models considered in this work are Chevallier–Polarski–Linder (CPL) model, Generalized Chaplygin Gas (GCG) model and Modified Chaplygin Gas (MCG) model. By considering the cosmic components (dark energy and cold dark matter) as perfect fluid, we have examined the constraints imposed on the total equation of state parameter ([Formula: see text]) of the dark fluid by thermodynamics and found that the phantom nature ([Formula: see text]) is not thermodynamically stable. Our investigation indicates that the dark fluid models (CPL, GCG and MCG) are thermodynamically stable under some restrictions of the parameters of each model.

We discuss the cosmological implications of interacting pilgrim dark energy (PDE) models (with Hubble, Granda–Oliveros and generalized ghost cutoffs) with cold dark matter ([Formula: see text]CDM) in fractal cosmology by assuming the flat universe. We observe that the Hubble parameter lies within observational suggested ranges while deceleration parameter represents the accelerated expansion behavior of the universe. The equation of state (EoS) parameter ([Formula: see text]) corresponds to the quintessence region and phantom region for different cases of [Formula: see text]. Further, we can see that [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] (where prime indicates the derivative with respect to natural logarithmic of scale factor) plane describes the freezing and thawing regions and also corresponds to [Formula: see text] limit for some cases of [Formula: see text] (PDE parameter). It is also noted that the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] (state-finder parameters) plane corresponds to [Formula: see text] limit and also shows the Chaplygin as well as phantom/quintessence behavior. It is observed that pilgrim dark energy models in fractal cosmology expressed the consistent behavior with recent observational schemes.

A two-fluid generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) model including two different cases is considered in this paper. Concretely, the evolution of the GCG model with interaction is discussed and the statefinder diagnostic for the GCG models is performed, respectively. By analysis, we show that the effective state parameter of dark energy can cross the so-called phantom divide ω = -1, the behavior of GCG will be like ΛCDM in the future and therefore our Universe will not end up with the Big Rip in the future. In addition, we find that the statefinder diagnostic can differentiate the GCG model with or without interaction. Also, trajectories of both the GCG model mixed with cold dark matter (CDM) and the pure GCG model in the parameter plane are illustrated to be significantly different.

The type Ia supernovae observational data are used to estimate the parameters of a cosmological model with cold dark matter and the Chaplygin gas. This exotic gas, which is characterized by a negative pressure varying with the inverse of density, represents in this model the dark energy responsible for the acceleration of the Universe. The Chaplygin gas model depends essentially on four parameters: the Hubble constant, the velocity of the sound of the Chaplygin gas, the curvature of the Universe and the fraction density of the Chaplygin gas and the cold dark matter. The Bayesian parameter estimation yields [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. These and other results indicate that a Universe completely dominated by the Chaplygin gas is favoured, what reinforces the idea that the Chaplygin gas may unify the description for dark matter and dark energy, at least as the type Ia supernovae data are concerned. A closed and accelerating Universe is also favoured. The Bayesian statistics indicates that the Chaplygin gas model is more likely than the standard cosmological constant (ΛCDM) model at 55.3% confidence level when an integration on all free parameters is performed. Assuming the spatially flat curvature, this percentage mounts to 65.3%. On the other hand, if the density of dark matter is fixed at zero value, the Chaplygin gas model becomes more preferred than the ΛCDM model at 91.8% confidence level. Finally, the hypothesis of flat Universe and baryonic matter (Ωb0=0.04) implies a Chaplygin gas model preferred over the ΛCDM at a confidence level of 99.4%.

In this paper, we investigate the statefinder, the deceleration and equation of state parameters when universe is composed of generalized holographic dark energy or generalized Ricci dark energy for Bianchi I universe model. These parameters are found for both interacting as well as noninteracting scenarios of generalized holographic or generalized Ricci dark energy with dark matter and generalized Chaplygin gas. We explore these parameters graphically for different situations. It is concluded that these models represent accelerated expansion of the universe.

We consider the generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) proposal for the unification of dark matter and dark energy with p = pdeand ρ = ρdm+ρde. The unified equation of state for GCG has been obtained: [Formula: see text]. On the basis of the function χ(z), some cosmological quantities such as the fractional contributions of different components of the universe Ωi(i respectively denotes baryons, dark matter and dark energy) to the critical density, the equation of state for dark energy ωde, the deceleration parameter q are all obtained, which are consistent with observations. In addition, the transition from deceleration to acceleration is described in our model. We find that the behavior of GCG will be like ΛCDM in the future. So, it has been ruled out in our model that our universe will end up with Big Rip in the future.

In this paper we consider the interacting generalized Chaplygin gas model as a unified scheme, in which the holographic dark energy as the dark energy component interacts with the cold dark matter with wdm= 0. Concretely, we mainly discuss the two kinds of interactions between the dark energy and dark matter, and give the evolution trajectories of density parameter and equation of state of dark energy as well as the decelerate parameter. By analysis, we show that in both cases of Q = 3bHρdeand Q = 3bHρGCG, the evolution laws and the present values of Ωde, wdeand q are compatible with the astronomical observations, but the effects of the coupling constant and holographic constant on them are completely different.

We consider a five-dimensional Ricci flat bouncing cosmological model in which the four-dimensional induced matter contains two components at late times — the cold dark matter (CDM) + baryons and dark energy. We find that the arbitrary function f(z) contained in the solution plays a similar role as the potential V(ϕ) in quintessence and phantom dark energy models. To resolve the coincidence problem, it is generally believed that there is a scaling stage in the evolution of the universe. We analyze the condition for this stage and show that a hyperbolic form of the function f(z) can work well in this property. We find that during the scaling stage (before z ≈ 2), the dark energy behaves like (but not identical to) a cold dark matter with an adiabatic sound speed [Formula: see text] and px ≈ 0. After z ≈ 2, the pressure of the dark energy becomes negative. The transition from deceleration to acceleration happens at zT ≈ 0.8 which, as well as other predictions of the 5D model, agrees with current observations.

The type Ia supernovae ( SNe Ia ) observational data are used to estimate the parameters of a cosmological model with cold dark matter and the generalized Chaplygin gas model (GCGM). The GCGM depends essentially on five parameters: the Hubble constant, the parameter [Formula: see text] related to the velocity of the sound, the equation of state parameter α, the curvature of the Universe and the fraction density of the generalized Chaplygin gas (or the cold dark matter). The parameter α is allowed to take negative values and to be greater than one. The Bayesian parameter estimation yields [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where t0 is the age of the Universe and q0 is the value of the deceleration parameter today. Our results indicate that a Universe completely dominated by the generalized Chaplygin gas is favored, which reinforces the idea that the this gas may unify the description for dark matter and dark energy, at least as far as the SNe Ia data is concerned. A closed and accelerating Universe is also favored. The traditional Chaplygin gas model (CGM), α = 1 is not ruled out, even if it does not give the best-fitting. Particular cases with four or three independent free parameters are also analyzed.

The accelerated expansion of the Universe is one of the main discoveries of the past decades, indicating the presence of an unknown component: the dark energy. Evidence of its presence is being gathered by a succession of observational experiments with increasing precision in its measurements. However, the most accepted model for explaining the dynamic of our Universe, the so-called Lambda cold dark matter, faces several problems related to the nature of such energy component. This has led to a growing exploration of alternative models attempting to solve those drawbacks. In this review, we briefly summarize the characteristics of a (non-exhaustive) list of dark energy models as well as some of the most used cosmological samples. Next, we discuss how to constrain each model’s parameters using observational data. Finally, we summarize the status of dark energy modeling.
