Abstract

We investigate specific models for a dark energy universe leading to Quasi-Rip and Pseudo-Rip cosmologies. In the Quasi-Rip model the equation of state parameter w is less than −1 in the first stage, but becomes larger than −1 in the second stage. In the Pseudo-Rip model the Hubble parameter tends to a constant value in the remote future, although w is always less than −1. Conditions for the appearance of the Quasi-Rip and the Pseudo-Rip in terms of the parameters in the equation of state are determined. Analogies with the theory of viscous cosmology are discussed.
