摘要
Recent observations of type Ia supernovae strongly support the view that the universe is accelerating now and decelerated in the recent past. By assuming a general relation between the quintessence potential and the quintessence kinetic energy, a general relation is found between the quintessence energy density and the scale factor. The potential includes both the hyperbolic and the double exponential potentials. A detailed analysis of the transition from the deceleration phase to the acceleration phase is then performed. We show that the current constraints on the transition time, the equation of state and the energy density of the quintessence field are satisfied in the model.
