A stable flat entropy-corrected FRW universe

Abstract

In this paper, a general entropy-corrected FRW cosmological model has been presented in which a deceleration-to-acceleration transition occurs according to recent observations. We found that the case for the flat universe ($k=0$), supported by observations, is the most stable one where it successfully passes all stability tests. The stability of the model has been studied through testing the sound speed, the classical and the new nonlinear energy conditions. The model predicts a positive pressure during the early-time decelerating epoch, and a negative pressure during the late-time accelerating epoch in a good agreement with cosmic history and dark energy assumption. We have investigated all possible values of the prefactors $\alpha$ and $\beta$ in the corrected entropy-area relation to find the best values required for a stable flat universe. We have also made use of the evolution of the equation of state parameters $\omega(t)$ in predicting the correct values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$. The jerk and density parameters have been calculated where a good agreement with observations and $\Lambda$CDM model has been obtained. Two dark energy proposals have been investigated in this model, the entropy-corrected holographic dark energy and the modified holographic Ricci dark energy.
