Kaluza-Klein FRW dark energy models in Saez-Ballester theory of gravitation

Abstract

This article is concerned with the investigation of dynamical behaviour of Kaluza-Klein(KK) FRW type dark energy cosmological models in the framework of a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation formulated by Saez and Ballester (Phys. Lett. A113,467:1986). Three cosmological models, in this theory, are presented by solving the field equations using (i) hybrid expansion law given by Pradhan et al. (Ind.J.Phys.89,5032015), (ii)varying deceleration parameter proposed by Mishra et al.(Int. J. Theor. Phy.52, 2546: 2013) and(iii)linearly varying deceleration parameter defined by Akarsu and Dereli (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 51, 612: 2012). We have evaluated the dynamical parameters for each of the models, namely, the equation of state (EoS) parameter, the deceleration parameter, statefinder parameter and total energy density parameter of dark energy. We have also found the scalar field in the models. We have discussed the dynamical behavior of the parameters through graphical representation with special reference to Planck Collaboration data. It is observed that our models describe accelerated expansion of the universe and our theoretical results are, reasonably, in good agreement with the observational data.
