A Comparison of the LVDP and {\Lambda}CDM Cosmological Models

TL;DR

This paper compares the LVDP and {}CDM cosmological models, showing they are nearly indistinguishable with current observations but diverge significantly in the far future.

Contribution

It introduces the LVDP model and demonstrates its close similarity to the {}CDM model based on current observational data.

Findings

LVDP closely matches {}CDM predictions up to the near future

Predictions of LVDP and {}CDM diverge in the distant future

Current observations cannot distinguish between the two models

Abstract

We compare the cosmological kinematics obtained via our law of linearly varying deceleration parameter (LVDP) with the kinematics obtained in the {\Lambda}CDM model. We show that the LVDP model is almost indistinguishable from the {\Lambda}CDM model up to the near future of our universe as far as the current observations are concerned, though their predictions differ tremendously into the far future.
