Among various phenomenological $Lambda$ models, a time-dependent model $dot Lambdasim H^3$ is selected here to investigate the $Lambda$-CDM cosmology. Using this model the expressions for the time-dependent equation of state parameter $omega$ and other physical parameters are derived. It is shown that in $H^3$ model accelerated expansion of the Universe takes place at negative energy density, but with a positive pressure. It has also been possible to obtain the change of sign of the deceleration parameter $q$ during cosmic evolution.

This paper treats nonrelativistic matter and a scalar field $phi$ with a monotonically decreasing potential minimally coupled to gravity in flat Friedmann-Lema^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker cosmology. The field equations are reformulated as a three-dimensional dynamical system on an extended compact state space, complemented with cosmographic diagrams. A dynamical systems analysis provides global dynamical results describing possible asymptotic behavior. It is shown that one should impose emph{global and asymptotic} bounds on $lambda=-V^{-1},dV/dphi$ to obtain viable cosmological models that continuously deform $Lambda$CDM cosmology. In particular we introduce a regularized inverse power-law potential as a simple specific example.
We present an explicit detailed theoretical and observational investigation of an anisotropic massive Brans-Dicke (BD) gravity extension of the standard $Lambda$CDM model, wherein the extension is characterized by two additional degrees of freedom; the BD parameter, $omega$, and the present day density parameter corresponding to the shear scalar, $Omega_{sigma^2,0}$. The BD parameter, determining the deviation from general relativity (GR), by alone characterizes both the dynamics of the effective dark energy (DE) and the redshift dependence of the shear scalar. These two affect each other depending on $omega$, namely, the shear scalar contributes to the dynamics of the effective DE, and its anisotropic stress --which does not exist in scalar field models of DE within GR-- controls the dynamics of the shear scalar deviating from the usual $propto(1+z)^6$ form in GR. We mainly confine the current work to non-negative $omega$ values as it is the right sign --theoretically and observationally-- for investigating the model as a correction to the $Lambda$CDM. By considering the current cosmological observations, we find that $omegagtrsim 250$, $Omega_{sigma^2,0}lesssim 10^{-23}$ and the contribution of the anisotropy of the effective DE to this value is insignificant. We conclude that the simplest anisotropic massive BD gravity extension of the standard $Lambda$CDM model exhibits no significant deviations from it all the way to the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We also point out the interesting features of the model in the case of negative $omega$ values; for instance, the constraints on $Omega_{sigma^2,0}$ could be relaxed considerably, the values of $omegasim-1$ (relevant to string theories) predict dramatically different dynamics for the expansion anisotropy.
We perform a deductive study of accelerating Universe and focus on the importance of variable time-dependent $Lambda$ in the Einsteins field equations under the phenomenological assumption, $Lambda =alpha H^2$ for the full physical range of $alpha$. The relevance of variable $Lambda$ with regard to various key issues like dark matter, dark energy, geometry of the field, age of the Universe, deceleration parameter and barotropic equation of state has been trivially addressed. The deceleration parameter and the barotropic equation of state parameter obey a straight line relationship for a flat Universe described by Friedmann and Raychaudhuri equations. Both the parameters are found identical for $alpha = 1$.
We study Kaluza-Klein cosmology in cuscuton gravity and find an exact solution describing an accelerating 4-dimensional universe with a stable extra dimension. A cuscuton which is a non-dynamical scalar field is responsible for the accelerating expansion and a vector field makes the extra dimensional space stable. Remarkably, the accelerating universe in our model is not exactly de Sitter.
We show that a cosmology driven by gravitationally induced particle production of all non-relativistic species existing in the present Universe mimics exactly the observed flat accelerating $Lambda$CDM cosmology with just one dynamical free parameter. This kind of scenario includes the creation cold dark matter (CCDM) model [Lima, Jesus & Oliveira, JCAP 011(2010)027] as a particular case and also provides a natural reduction of the dark sector since the vacuum component is not needed to accelerate the Universe. The new cosmic scenario is equivalent to $Lambda$CDM both at the background and perturbative levels and the associated creation process is also in agreement with the universality of the gravitational interaction and equivalence principle. Implicitly, it also suggests that the present day astronomical observations cannot be considered the ultimate proof of cosmic vacuum effects in the evolved Universe because $Lambda$CDM may be only an effective cosmology.
