Abstract
Recently, energy condition inequalities in the context of modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity have been derived in Garcia et al. (Phys. Rev. D, 83:104032, 2011). Using these general inequalities, we examine the viability of specific forms of f(G) models proposed in De Felice and Tsujikawa (Phys. Lett. B, 675:1, 2009) that can be responsible for the late-time cosmic acceleration following the matter era. In doing so we also use the recent estimated values of the deceleration, jerk and snap parameters to obtain the bounds from the weak and strong energy conditions on the parameters of the above mentioned forms of f(G) gravity theories.
