Cosmological model with variable deceleration parameter in f(R, T) modified gravity

A study is made of the LRS Bianchi type-I cosmological model in f(R, T) modified gravity theory. Einstein's field equations in f(R, T) gravity are solved by taking f(R, T) = R + 2f(T) and the deceleration parameter (q) to be a linear function of the Hubble parameter (H). The universe begins with an initial singular state and changes with time from an early deceleration phase to a late time acceleratio phase. We have found that the jerk parameter (j) in the model approaches that of the Lambda CDM model at late times. We also discuss the physical and geometrical properties of the model.
