Abstract

Here, it is found that dark energy and dark matter emerge from the gravitational sector, if non-linear term of scalar curvature is added to Einstein-Hilbert lagrangian. An equation of state for dark energy, having the form $p_{de} = - ρ_{de} + f (a) (w i t h$ p_{\rm de}(ρ_{\rm de}) $b e in g t h e p r ess u r e (d e n s i t y) f or d a r k e n er g y,$ f(a) $b e in g a f u n c t i o n o f sc a l e f e a c t or$ a(t) $an d$ t $b e in g t h ecos mi c t im e) i se x pl or e d .
