Bias of reconstructing the dark energy equation of state from the Pad$\acute{e}$ cosmography

Abstract

Pad$\acute{e}$ cosmography has been widely used to probe the cosmic evolution and to investigate the nature of dark energy. In this paper, we find that the Pad$\acute{e}$ approximant can describe the cosmic evolution better than the standard cosmography, and if the luminosity distance $d_L(z)$ described by the Pad$\acute{e}$ approximant is used to reconstruct the dark energy equation of state $w(z)$, then the reconstructed $w(z)$ will approach a constant, i.e. $1/3$ or $0$, when the redshift is very high. This result is general since it is independent of the coefficients in the Pad$\acute{e}$ approximant and the value of the present dimensionless matter density parameter. This intrinsic character will bias the $w(z)$ reconstruction and lead to misconception of the property of dark energy. Therefore, one must exercise caution in investigating the property of dark energy from Pad$\acute{e}$ cosmography when the high redshift data, i.e. $z>2$, are included.
