Abstract

We consider a model of scalar field with non-minimal kinetic couplings to the curvature, and additional coupling to the Gauss–Bonnet four-dimensional invariant. The model presents rich cosmological dynamics and some of its solutions are analyzed. A variety of scalar fields and potentials giving rise to power-law expansion have been found. Two solutions with dynamical equation of state are considered. The first solution unifies early time power-law behavior with late time cosmological constant dominance. The second solution is able to describe a universe in the phantom phase, and depending on the parameters may describe essentially dark energy behavior, or may contain the decelerated and accelerated phases.
