Abstract: (Elsevier)
A novel function for modified gravity is proposed, f(R,T)=R+λR2+2βln(T) , with constants λ and β , scalar curvature R , and the trace of stress energy tensor T , satisfying T=ρ−3p>0 . Subsequently, two equations of state (EoS) parameters, namely ω and a parametric form of the Hubble parameter H , are employed in order to study the accelerated expansion and initial cosmological bounce of the corresponding universe. Hubble telescope experimental data for redshift z within the range 0.07≤z≤2.34 are used to compare the theoretical and observational values of the Hubble parameter. Moreover, it is observed that all the energy conditions are fulfilled within a neighborhood of the bouncing point t=0 , what shows that the necessary condition for violation of the null energy condition, within a neighborhood of the bouncing point in general relativity, could be avoided by modifying the theory in a reasonable way. Furthermore, a large amount of negative pressure is found, which helps to understand the late time accelerated expansion phase of the universe.Note:
