Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this work, the Gauss-Bonnet model of modified gravity is investigated, where some arbitrary function is added to the Einstein-Hilbert action. This theory explains the accelerated expansion of the Universe. In this work. The article proposes modified gravity, which considers two gravities and , where is a function from the Ricci scalar, is a function from the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. The model is considered in a flat, isotropic and homogeneous Universe. As a result of some mathematical formalism, the dependence of the function on the scalar of curvature and on time is found. Geometric and dynamic parameters of the cosmological model were analyzed. Equations of motion and cosmological parameters, such as the Hubble parameter and scale factor, were obtained for the investigated model. Analyzing the obtained solutions of the scale factor, it was shown that the model describes the exponential acceleration of the Universe. Thus, it was found that the cosmological model under study has a similar interpretation to the de Sitter cosmological model.
