1. Introduction
It is know that black holes can be described by thermodynamics with entropy being proportional to the horizon area [
1,
2] and temperature is linked with the surface gravity. Thus, gravity is related to ordinary thermodynamics [
3,
4,
5,
6]. From the first law of apparent horizon thermodynamics Friedmann’s equations also can be derived [
7,
8,
9,
10,
11,
12,
13,
14,
15,
16,
17]. Different entropies were studied in [
18,
19,
20,
21,
22,
23,
24] which can lead to modified Friedmann’s equations. Other holographic dark energy models were considered in Refs. [
25,
26,
27,
28,
29,
30,
31,
32,
33,
34]. Holographic energy densities, depending on the form of entropy, may describe the dark energy which drives the universe to accelerate [
35,
36]. The nature of dark energy is unknown and can be described by the LCDM model. We propose here new apparent horizon entropy
with
being the Bekenstein–Hawking (BH) entropy, that lead to the presence of dark energy so that our model is alternative to the LCDM model. The
entropy becomes zero when the BH entropy vanishes and is the monotonically increasing function of the BH entropy
and is positive. When parameter
vanishes we arrive at the BH entropy. It should be noted that the apparent horizon thermodynamics leads to the Friedmann equations, in the framework of Einstein’s gravity, only when the matter is a perfect fluid with equation of state (EoS)
with
p being the matter pressure and
is the density energy of matter [
16]. Modifying the BH entropy
by apparent horizon entropy
we study the general case of EoS for barotropic perfect fluid
. It is worth noting that the long-range gravitational interactions are described by generalized entropies. It will be shown that
entropy leads to modified Friedmann’s equations that describe the universe inflation. In our approach the cosmological constant is dynamical and it explains the presents of dark energy.
4. Modified FLRW Equations
Assuming that
and making use of Equations (11) and (12), we find
By virtue of our entropy (4) (
) and BH entropy
and utilizing Equations (13) and (14), one obtains the modified Friedmann equation
Equation (
15), as
, is converted into the usual Friedmann equation within general relativity for flat universe. Integrating Equation (
15) and making use of Equation (
12) we find the second modified Friedmann equation
where we have defined parameter
. When
(
) Equation (
16) becomes the FLRW equation for flat universe in the framework Einstein’s gravity. Introducing the effective (a dynamical) cosmological constant
Equation (
16) can be put into the usual form of Friedmann’s equation
The dynamical cosmological constant
versus
H at some parameters
is depicted in
Figure 1.
In accordance with
Figure 1,
increases as the Habble parameter
H increases. As
the dynamical cosmological constant becomes
. At fixed
H, when
b increases the dynamical cosmological constant
also increases. Making use of Equations (17) and (18) we obtain the dark energy density
Let us define the normalized density parameters
and
, where
is the reduced Plank mass. Then from Equations (17), (18) and (19), one finds the equation
. By virtue of Equations (17),(18) and (19) we obtain the normalized density of the matter (
)
The
versus
H is plotted in
Figure 2.
For the current era
, and in accordance with
Figure 2, one can obtain the corresponding parameters
b and
H. Assuming that dark substance obeys ordinary conservation law, and there is no mutual interaction between the cosmos components, we find from the continuity equation the dark energy pressure
With the help of Equations (19) and (21) one obtains the pressure
Making use of Equations (15), (19) and (22) one finds EoS for the dark energy
,
The
versus
H is plotted in
Figure 3.
In accordance with left panel of
Figure 3 at
and
when
w increases, EoS parameter for dark energy
also increases (at
). According to right panel of
Figure 3 at
and
when
b increases,
also increases (at
). From Equation (
23), it follows that
so that the dynamical cosmological constant leads to EoS of dark energy
at large Habble parameter
H (small apparent horizon radius
). As a result, universe inflation is due to dynamical cosmological constant. When
(
) the dynamical cosmological constant vanishes (
). Thus, after Big Bang (
) we have the de Sitter space,
.
According to the second law of apparent horizon thermodynamics we have the requirement
and from Equation (
4) one obtains
or
and
. As a result, these requirements, for positive Hubble parameter, lead to
and
. Then from Equation (
15) we find that at
one has
and for the positive energy density we obtain for EoS parameter the requirement
.
Now we explore the redshift
, where
corresponds to a scale factor at the current time. From the continuity Equation (
11) and EoS
we obtain the density energy of matter
where
is the density energy of matter at the present time. With the aid of Equations (16) and (24) one finds equation as follows:
making use of Equations (24) and (25) we obtain the redshift
We plotted the function of Habble parameter versus redshift
z in
Figure 4 for
.
Figure 4 shows that sas redshift
z increases the Habble parameter
H also increases. According to left panel of
Figure 4, when EoS parameter
w increases, at fixed
z, the
H also increases. Right panel of
Figure 4 shows that when parameter
b increases at fixed
z the Habble parameter also increases.
Let us investigate the phases of acceleration and deceleration of the universe. The deceleration parameter is given by
If
we have the acceleration phase but when
the phase of the universe deceleration takes place. By virtue of Equations (15), (24) and (27) we obtain the deceleration parameter as a function of redshift
z
With the help of Equations (25) and (28) one finds the deceleration parameter
q in the form
In
Figure 5 we depicted the deceleration parameter
q versus the Hubble parameter
H.
For some values of
w and
there are two phases: inflation (
) and deceleration (
) but at some
w and
we have only eternal university acceleration (inflation),
. In accordance with figure, when redshift
z increases the deceleration parameter
q also increases. According to left panel of
Figure 5, when EoS parameter
w increases the deceleration parameter
q also increases at fixed
. At
and
there are two phases, acceleration
and deceleration
but at
we have the acceleration phase (the eternal inflation). Accordance to right panel of
Figure 5, when parameter
b (and
) increases, at fixed
w, the deceleration parameter
q decreases. At
and
we have two phases: acceleration and deceleration.
Making use of Equation (
29) one obtains the asymptotic
Equation (
30) shows that the asymptotic of the deceleration parameter depends only on the entropy parameter
(
). We obtain from Equation (29 at
(
) that

According to Table I shows that when the entropy parameter
increases the Hubble parameter
H also increases. For a divided point
between two pases, universe acceleration and deceleration, the transition reshift
is negative and decreases. From Equation (
26) we obtain, for the current era when
,
, approximate solutions for the Habble parameter
H and the deceleration parameter
q from Equation (
29) for different

In Table II, negative values of the deceleration parameter
q show the acceleration phase of the universe at the current time. The deceleration parameter at the current time is
[
38]. In accordance with Table II there is entropy parameter
which can give that result.
