Cosmology with a Non-minimal Coupling

Abstract
A dynamical system approach to cosmological dynamics of non-minimal coupled f(R) theories is presented. The solutions of three distinct models are obtained and their stability and physical interpretation are studied to ascertain their viability as candidates for dark energy. Comparison is drawn with previous works in the context of f(R) and nonminimally coupled models.
