Generalized Puisieux series expansion for cosmological milestones

Abstract

We use generalized Puisieux series expansions to determine the behaviour of the scale factor in the vicinity of typical cosmological milestones occurring in a FRW universe. We describe some of the consequences of this generalized Puisieux series expansion on other physical observables.
