Abstract
Abstract This paper is a parametrization of the equation of state (EoS) parameter of dark energy (DE), which is parameterized using square-root (SR) form i.e. ω SR = ω 0 + ω 1 z z 2 + 1 , where ω 0 and ω 1 are free constants. This parametrization is examined in the context of the recently suggested f(Q) gravity theory as an alternative to general relativity (GR), in which gravitational effects are attributed to the non-metricity scalar Q with the functional form f(Q) = Q + α Q n , where α and n are arbitrary constants. We derive observational constraints on model parameters using the Hubble dataset with 31 data points and the Supernovae (SNe) dataset from the Pantheon samples compilation dataset with 1048 data points. For the current model, the evolution of the deceleration parameter, density parameter, EoS for DE, and Om(z) diagnostic have all been investigated. It has been shown that the deceleration parameter favors the current accelerated expansion phase. It has also been shown that the EoS parameter for DE has a quintessence nature at this time.
