Viable f(r) gravity<br />
Viability conditions for F(R) gravity<br />
1. f RR > 0 for hight curvature, which ensures the existence of stable high<br />
curvature regimes, as the matter dominated epoch.<br />
2. 1 + f R > 0, which avoids the appearance of a negative effective gravitational<br />
coupling G eff = G/(1 + f R ), and the anti-gravity regime, implying also<br />
the avoidance of the graviton to turn into a ghost.<br />
3. f R → 0 as R →∞. GR has to be recovered at early times. Together<br />
with f RR > 0, implies f R < 0, and consequently −1
