Viability of Bianchi type V Universe in $f(R,T)= f_{1}(R)+f_{2}(R)f_{3}(T)$ gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the viability of Bianchi type V universe in $f(R,T)$ theory of gravitation. To solve the field equations, we have considered the power law for scale factor and constructed a singular Lagrangian model which is based on the coupling between Ricci scalar R and trace of energy-momentum tensor T. We find the constraints on Hubble constant $H_{0}$ and free parameter $n$ with 46 observational Hubble dataset and obtain pretty satisfactory results. The physical features of the model and transitional behavior of equation of state (EOS) parameter are analyzed. We examine the nature of physical parameters and validity of energy conditions as well as stability condition. We also present the Om(z) and statefinder diagnostic analysis for the derived model.
