Abstract

This paper aims to put constraints on the transition redshift , which determines the onset of cosmic acceleration, in cosmological-model independent frameworks. In order to perform our analyses, we consider a flat universe and {assume} a parametrization for the comoving distance up to third degree on , a second degree parametrization for the Hubble parameter and a linear parametrization for the deceleration parameter . For each case, we show that {type Ia supernovae} and data complement each other on the parameter {space} and tighter constrains for the transition redshift are obtained. By {combining} the type Ia supernovae observations and Hubble parameter measurements it is possible to constrain the values of , for each approach, as , and at 1 c.l., respectively. Then, such approaches provide cosmological-model independent estimates for this parameter.
