Little Rip and Pseudo Rip Phenomena from Coupled Dark Energy

Abstract

We consider Little Rip (LR) and Pseudo Rip (PR) cosmological models with two interacting ideal fluids, corresponding to dark energy and dark matter. The interaction between the dark energy and the dark matter fluid components is described in terms of the parameters in the equations of state for the LR and PR universes. In contrast to a model containing only a pure dark energy, the presence of the interaction term between the fluid components in the gravitational equations leads to a modification of the equation of state parameters. The properties of the early universe in this formalism are pointed out.
