A new potential for scalar field dark energy

In this paper, we have investigated some cosmological consequences of a quintessence dark energy model. In particular, we have obtained the forms of the equation of state parameter, the deceleration parameter and the field potential by considering a simple relation between the scale factor and the time derivative of the scalar field, instead of assuming any functional form for the scalar field potential or the scale factor or the equation of state parameter. We have found that the model provides the desired early deceleration followed by present acceleration of the universe. The potential derived numerically in this work in the form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are real constant parameters. It has also been found that our model mimics as the standard [Formula: see text]CDM model in future. Finally, we have also shown the evolution of the normalized Hubble parameter for our model and the [Formula: see text]CDM model and compared that with the latest Hubble parameter data.
