In this paper, we study a particular modified gravity Equation of State, the so-called Jaime-Jaber-Escamilla, that emerges from the first gravity modified action principle and can reproduce three cosmological viable $f(R)$ theories: the Starobinsky, Hu-Sawicki, and Exponential models . This EoS is a suitable candidate to reproduce the dynamical dark energy behaviour already reconstructed by the current data sets. Based on the joint statistical analysis, we found that our results are still in good agreement (within $1sigma$) with the $Lambda$CDM, while at perturbative level we notice that the matter power spectrum normalisation factor $sigma_8$ shows an agreement with SDSS and SNeIa+IRAS at 1-$sigma$ for the Starobinsky model and with SDSS-vec for the Hu & Sawicki and Exponential models. Furthermore, we found that for the $H_0$ values, Starobinsky and Hu & Sawicki show the least tension in comparison with PL18 TT. All these aspects cannot be observed textit{directly} from other alternatives theories, were a equation of state is difficult to compute analytically.

The Nobel Prize winning confirmation in 1998 of the accelerated expansion of our Universe put into sharp focus the need of a consistent theoretical model to explain the origin of this acceleration. As a result over the past two decades there has been a huge theoretical and observational effort into improving our understanding of the Universe. The cosmological equations describing the dynamics of a homogeneous and isotropic Universe are systems of ordinary differential equations, and one of the most elegant ways these can be investigated is by casting them into the form of dynamical systems. This allows the use of powerful analytical and numerical methods to gain a quantitative understanding of the cosmological dynamics derived by the models under study. In this review we apply these techniques to cosmology. We begin with a brief introduction to dynamical systems, fixed points, linear stability theory, Lyapunov stability, centre manifold theory and more advanced topics relating to the global structure of the solutions. Using this machinery we then analyse a large number of cosmological models and show how the stability conditions allow them to be tightly constrained and even ruled out on purely theoretical grounds. We are also able to identify those models which deserve further in depth investigation through comparison with observational data. This review is a comprehensive and detailed study of dynamical systems applications to cosmological models focusing on the late-time behaviour of our Universe, and in particular on its accelerated expansion. In self contained sections we present a large number of models ranging from canonical and non-canonical scalar fields, interacting models and non-scalar field models through to modified gravity scenarios. Selected models are discussed in detail and interpreted in the context of late-time cosmology.
We study a class of almost scale-invariant modified gravity theories, using a particular form of $f(R, G) = alpha R^2 + beta G log G$ where $R$ and $G$ are the Ricci and Gauss-Bonnet scalars, respectively and $alpha$, $beta$ are arbitrary constants. We derive the Einstein-like field equations to first order in cosmological perturbation theory in longitudinal gauge.

We perform a phase space analysis of a generalized modified gravity theory with nonminimally coupling between geometry and matter. We apply the dynamical system approach to this generalized model and find that in the cosmological context, different choices of Lagrangian density will apparently result in different phases of the Universe. By carefully choosing the variables, we prove that there is an attractor solution to describe the late time accelerating universe when the modified gravity is chosen in a simple power-law form of the curvature scalar. We further examine the temperature evolution based on the thermodynamic understanding of the model. Confronting the model with supernova type Ia data sets, we find that the nonminimally coupled theory of gravity is a viable model to describe the late time Universe acceleration.
It is shown that F(R)-modified gravitational theories lead to curvature oscillations in astrophysical systems with rising energy density. The frequency and the amplitude of such oscillations could be very high and would lead to noticeable production of energetic cosmic ray particles.
Until recently the study of the gravitational field of dark matter was primarily concerned with its local effects on the motion of stars in galaxies and galaxy clusters. On the other hand, the WMAP experiment has shown that the gravitational field produced by dark matter amplifies the higher acoustic modes of the CMBR power spectrum, more intensely than the gravitational field of baryons. Such a wide range of experimental evidences from cosmology to local gravity suggests the necessity of a comprehensive analysis of the dark matter gravitational field per se, regardless of any other attributes that dark matter may eventually possess. In this paper we introduce and apply Nashs theory of perturbative geometry to the study of the dark matter gravitational field alone, in a higher-dimensional framework. It is shown that the dark matter gravitational perturbations in the early universe can be explained by the extrinsic curvature of the standard cosmology. Together with the estimated presence of massive neutrinos, such geometric perturbation is compatible not only with the observed power spectrum in the WMAP experiment but also with the most recent data on the accelerated expansion of the universe. It is possible that the same structure formation exists locally, such as in the cases of young galaxies or in cluster collisions. In most other cases it seems to have ceased when the extrinsic curvature becomes negligible, leading to Einsteins equations in four dimensions. The slow motion of stars in galaxies and the motion of plasma substructures in nearly colliding clusters are calculated with the geodesic equation for a slowly moving object in a gravitational field of arbitrary strength.
