Abstract
The phantom behavior of the Universe is discussed in an extended version of Gauss–Bonnet gravity. Following the method proposed by the author (Int. J. Mod. Phys. D, 27, 1850078. 2018. doi: 10.1142/S0218271818500785 ), we obtain a viable cosmological model for the phantom phase of the Universe. We find a condition for m in the model ∼Gm, which shows phantom expansion of the Universe. On the other hand, using a phantom source term ∼T2n in the model we observe that the term ∼Gn, with n > 3/4, gives a phantomic space–time expansion. This form (Gn + T2n) obtained for the phantom phase of the Universe exhibits a similar form to Einstein’s gravity theory (R + Lm). However, we addressed the cosmic coincidence problem for the model.
