This paper analyses the cosmological consequences of a modified theory of gravity whose action integral is built from a linear combination of the Ricci scalar $R$ and a quadratic term in the covariant derivative of $R$. The resulting Friedmann equations are of the fifth-order in the Hubble function. These equations are solved numerically for a flat space section geometry and pressureless matter. The cosmological parameters of the higher-order model are fit using SN Ia data and X-ray gas mass fraction in galaxy clusters. The best-fit present-day $t_{0}$ values for the deceleration parameter, jerk and snap are given. The coupling constant $beta$ of the model is not univocally determined by the data fit, but partially constrained by it. Density parameter $Omega_{m0}$ is also determined and shows weak correlation with the other parameters. The model allows for two possible future scenarios: there may be either a premature Big Rip or a Rebouncing event depending on the set of values in the space of parameters. The analysis towards the past performed with the best-fit parameters shows that the model is not able to accommodate a matter-dominated stage required to the formation of structure.

The equivalence between theories depending on the derivatives of $R$, i.e. $fleft( R, abla R,..., abla^{n}Rright) $, and scalar-multi-tensorial theories is verified. The analysis is done in both metric and Palatini formalisms. It is shown that $fleft
( R, abla R,..., abla^{n}Rright) $ theories are equivalent to scalar-multi-tensorial ones resembling Brans-Dicke theories with kinetic terms $omega_{0}=0$ and $omega_{0}= - frac{3}{2}$ for metric and Palatini formalisms respectively. This result is analogous to what happens for $f(R)$ theories. It is worthy emphasizing that the scalar-multi-tensorial theories obtained here differ from Brans-Dicke ones due to the presence of multiple tensorial fields absent in the last. Furthermore, sufficient conditions are established for $fleft( R, abla R,..., abla^{n}Rright) $ theories to be written as scalar-multi-tensorial theories. Finally, some examples are studied and the comparison of $fleft( R, abla R,..., abla^{n}Rright) $ theories to $fleft( R,Box R,...Box^{n}Rright) $ theories is performed.
We show that in the weak field limit the light deflection alone cannot distinguish between different $R + F[g(square)R]$ models of gravity, where $F$ and $g$ are arbitrary functions. This does not imply, however, that in all these theories an observe
r will see the same deflection angle. Owed to the need to calibrate the Newton constant, the deflection angle may be model-dependent after all necessary types of measurements are taken into account.
Modified gravity has attracted much attention over the last few years and remains a potential candidate for dark energy. In particular, the so-called viable f(R) gravity theories, which are able to both recover General Relativity (GR) and produce lat
e-time cosmic acceleration, have been widely studied in recent literature. Nevertheless, extended theories of gravity suffer from several shortcomings which compromise their ability to provide realistic alternatives to the standard cosmological Lambda CDM Concordance model. We address the existence of cosmological singularities and the conditions that guarantee late-time acceleration,assuming reasonable energy conditions for standard matter in the so-called Hu-Sawicki f(R) model, currently among the most widely studied modifications to General Relativity. Then using the Supernovae Ia Union 2.1 catalogue, we further constrain the free parameters of this model. The combined analysis of both theoretical and observational constraints sheds some light on the viable parameter space of these models and the form of the underlying effective theory of gravity.
In Cuzinatto et al. [Phys. Rev. D 93, 124034 (2016)], it has been demonstrated that theories of gravity in which the Lagrangian includes terms depending on the scalar curvature $R$ and its derivatives up to order $n$, i.e. $fleft(R, abla_{mu}R, abla_
{mu_{1}} abla_{mu_{2}}R,dots, abla_{mu_{1}}dots abla_{mu_{n}}Rright)$ theories of gravity, are equivalent to scalar-multitensorial theories in the Jordan frame. In particular, in the metric and Palatini formalisms, this scalar-multitensorial equivalent scenario shows a structure that resembles that of the Brans-Dicke theories with a kinetic term for the scalar field with $omega_{0}=0$ or $omega_{0}=-3/2$, respectively. In the present work, the aforementioned analysis is extended to the Einstein frame. The conformal transformation of the metric characterizing the transformation from Jordans to Einsteins frame is responsible for decoupling the scalar field from the scalar curvature and also for introducing a usual kinetic term for the scalar field in the metric formalism. In the Palatini approach, this kinetic term is absent in the action. Concerning the other tensorial auxiliary fields, they appear in the theory through a generalized potential. As an example, the analysis of an extension of the Starobinsky model (with an extra term proportional to $ abla_{mu}R abla^{mu}R$) is performed and the fluid representation for the energy-momentum tensor is considered. In the metric formalism, the presence of the extra term causes the fluid to be an imperfect fluid with a heat flux contribution; on the other hand, in the Palatini formalism the effective energy-momentum tensor for the extended Starobinsky gravity is that of a perfect fluid type. Finally, it is also shown that the extra term in the Palatini formalism represents a dynamical field which is able to generate an inflationary regime without a graceful exit.
We use data from Supernovae (SNIa) Pantheon sample, from Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), and from cosmic chronometers measurements of the Hubble parameter (CC), alongside arguments from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), in order to extract constr
aints on Myrzakulov $F(R,T)$ gravity. This is a connection-based theory belonging to the Riemann-Cartan subclass, that uses a specific but non-special connection, which then leads to extra degrees of freedom. Our analysis shows that both considered models lead to $sim 1 sigma$ compatibility in all cases. For the involved dimensionless parameter we find that it is constrained to an interval around zero, however the corresponding contours are slightly shifted towards positive values. Furthermore, we use the obtained parameter chains so to reconstruct the corresponding Hubble function, as well as the dark-energy equation-of-state parameter, as a function of redshift. As we show, Model 1 is very close to $Lambda$CDM scenario, while Model 2 resembles it at low redshifts, however at earlier times deviations are allowed. Finally, applying the AIC, BIC and the combined DIC criteria, we deduce that both models present a very efficient fitting behavior, and are statistically equivalent with $Lambda$CDM cosmology, despite the fact that Model 2 does not contain the latter as a limit.
