FR W Cosmology with a Non-Linear Ingomogeneous Eq uation of State // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2011. Issue 5 (107). P. 31-34

A dark Friedman-Robertson-Walker fluid governed by a non-linear ingomogeneous equation of state (EoS) is considered that it can be viewed as a conveniently simple paradigm for the whole class of models that exhibit phase transitions from a non-phantom towards a phantom era. On the other hand, such dark fluid models may also describe quintessence-like cosmic acceleration. Adding a cosmological constant-like term to the EoS led us to the conclusion that at some t = t1 a future singularity forms, in the sense that the energy density and the Hubble parameter simultaneously approach infinity at this value.

Keywords: dark energy, cosmological singularity, cosmic acceleration
