Abstract: (Springer)
We study the bounce cosmology to construct a singularity-free f(R)f({\mathcal {R}}) model using the reconstruction technique. The formulation of the f(R)f({\mathcal {R}}) model is based on the Raychaudhari equation, a key element employed in reconstructed models to eliminate singularities. We explore the feasibility of obtaining stable gravitational Lagrangians, adhering to the conditions fR>0f_{{\mathcal {R}}}>0 and fRR>0f_{{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {R}}}>0. Consequently, both models demonstrate stability, effectively avoiding the Dolgov–Kawasaki instability. Our assessment extends to testing the reconstructed model using energy conditions and the effective equation-of-state (EoS). Our findings indicate that the reconstructed super-bounce model facilitates the examination of a singularity-free accelerating universe for both phantom and non-phantom phases. However, in the case of the reconstructed oscillatory bounce model, two scenarios are considered with ω=1/3\omega =-\,1/3 and ω=2/3\omega =-\,2/3. While the model proves suitable for studying a singular-free accelerating universe in the ω=1/3\omega =-\,1/3 case, it fails to demonstrate such behavior under energy conditions for the ω=2/3\omega =-\,2/3 scenario. The reconstructed models accommodate early-time bouncing behavior and late-time cosmic acceleration within a unified framework.
