Non-singular model of universe

Einstein equations give minimum and maximum limits of cosmic scale factor by considering pressure. The contraction before expansion is like the birth of a star. As in nuclear fusion stage, the temperature and pressure of the star depends on its mass, in the order of magnitude of universe mass fusion after gravitational contraction brings about […]

The generalized second law of thermodynamics in f(R) gravity for various choices of scale factor

AbstractThe present study is aimed at investigating the validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in f(R) gravity. Choosing f(R)=R+ξRμ+ζR−ν with ξ,μ,ζ, ν > 0 (following the study of Nojiri and Odintsov in 2003), we have computed the time derivatives of total entropy for various choices of scale factor pertaining to emergent, intermediate, and logamediate […]
