This article deals with a cosmological scenario in $ f(R,T) $ gravity for a flat FLRW model of the universe. We consider the $ f(R,T) $ function as $ f(R)+f(T) $ which starts with a quadratic correction of the geometric term $ f(R) $ having structure $ f(R)=R+\alpha R^2 $, and a linear matter term $ f(T)=2\lambda T $. To achieve the solution of the gravitational field equations in the $ f(R,T) $ formalism, we take the form of a geometrical parameter, i.e. scale factor $ a(t)= sinh^{\frac{1}{n}}(\beta t) $ \cite{cha}, where $ \beta $ and $ n $ are model parameters. An eternal acceleration can be predicted by the model for $ 0<n<1 $, while the cosmic transition from the early decelerated phase to the present accelerated epoch can be anticipated for $ n\geq 1 $. The obtained model facilitate the formation of structure in the Universe according to the Jeans instability condition as our model transits from radiation dominated era to matter dominated era. We study the varying role of the equation of state parameter $ \omega $. We analyze our model by studying the behavior of the scalar field and discuss the energy conditions on our achieved solution. We examine the validity of our model via Jerk parameter, Om diagnostic, Velocity of sound and Statefinder diagnostic tools. We investigate the constraints on the model parameter $ n $ and $ H_0 $ (Hubble constant) using some observational datasets: $SNeIa$ dataset, $ H(z)$ (Hubble parameter) dataset, $ BAO $ (Baryon Acoustic Oscillation data) and their combinations as joint observational datasets $ H(z)$ + $ SNeIa $ and $ H(z)$ + $ SNeIa $ + $ BAO $. It is testified that the present study is well consistent with these observations. We also perform some cosmological tests and a detailed discussion of the model.

A cosmological model with a specific form of the Hubble parameter is constructed in a flat homogeneous, and isotropic background in the framework of $f(R,T)$ gravity, where $R$ is the scalar curvature and $T$ is the trace of the stress-energy-momentum tensor. The proposed functional form of the Hubble parameter is taken in such a way that it fulfills the successful bouncing criteria to find the solution of the gravitational field equations provided the Universe is free from initial singularity. The various constraints on the parameters are involved in the functional form of the Hubble parameter which are analyzed in detail. In addition, we explore physical and geometrical consequences of the model based on the imposed constraints. Furthermore, we demonstrate the bouncing scenario which is realized in our model with some particular values of the model parameters. As a result, we find that all of the necessary conditions are satisfied for a successful bouncing model.

In this paper, we have studied the magnetized quark matter (QM) and strange quark matter (SQM) distributions in the presence of $ f(R,T)$ gravity in the background of Friedmann--Lema\^itre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) metric. To get exact solutions of modified field equations we have used $f(R,T) = R + 2 f(T)$ model given by Harko et al. with two different parametrization of geometrical parameters \textit{i.e.} the parametrization of the deceleration parameter $ q $, and the scale factor $ a $ in hybrid expansion form. Also, we have obtained Einstein Static Universe (ESU) solutions for QM and SQM distributions in $f(R,T)$ gravity and General Relativity (GR). All models in $f(R,T)$ gravity and GR for FRW and ESU Universes with QM also SQM distributions, we get zero magnetic field. These results agree with the solutions of Akta{\c{s} and Ayg\"un in $f(R,T)$ gravity. However, we have also discussed the physical consequences of our obtained models.

In this paper, we have studied flat Friedmann--Lema\^{\i}tre--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) model with modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) having equation of state $p_{m}=A\rho -% \frac{B}{\rho ^{\gamma }}$, where $0\leq A\leq 1$, $0\leq \gamma \leq 1$ and $B$ is any positive constant in }${\footnotesize f(R,T)}${\footnotesize \ gravity with particle creation. We have considered a simple parametrization of the Hubble parameter $H$ in order to solve the field equations and discussed the time evolution of different cosmological parameters for some obtained models showing unique behavior of scale factor. We have also discussed the statefinder diagnostic pair $\{r,s\}$ that characterizes the evolution of obtained models and explore their stability. The physical consequences of the models and their kinematic behaviors have also been scrutinized here in some detail.

In this paper, we examine observational constraints on the power law cosmology; essentially dependent on two parameters $H_0$ (Hubble constant) and $q$ (deceleration parameter). We investigate the constraints on these parameters using the latest 28 points of H(z) data and 580 points of Union2.1 compilation data and, compare the results with the results of $\Lambda$CDM. We also forecast constraints using a simulated data set for the future JDEM, supernovae survey. Our studies give better insight into power law cosmology than the earlier done analysis by Kumar [arXiv:1109.6924] indicating it tuning well with Union2.1 compilation data but not with H(z) data. However, the constraints obtained on $$ and $$ i.e. $H_0$ average and $q$ average using the simulated data set for the future JDEM, supernovae survey are found to be inconsistent with the values obtained from the H(z) and Union2.1 compilation data. We also perform the statefinder analysis and find that the power-law cosmological models approach the standard $\Lambda$CDM model as $q\rightarrow -1$. Finally, we observe that although the power law cosmology explains several prominent features of evolution of the Universe, it fails in details.
