Exploring the evolution of structure growth in the universe with field-fluid interactions through dynamical stability analysis by Anirban Chatterjee, Abhijit Bandyopadhyay, Debasish Majumdar

“…We analyzed the associated stability characteristics and growth rate of perturbations, and obtained domains in the ( $$\alpha -\lambda $$ α - λ ) parameter space for which fixed points can exhibit stable and non-phantom accelerating solutions. Depending on its magnitude, the coupling parameter $$\alpha $$ α has the potential to change the characteristics of certain critical points, altering them from attractors to repellers. …”
