文摘We restrict purely kinetic k-essence.Assuming that the equation of state is a power law of the kinetic energy,i.e.w=w0Xα,we find thatαmust be positive to obtain accelerated phases,constrained from the conditions for stability and causality.In this case the k-essence behaves like a phantom.We also study the evolutions of the equation of state and the speed of sound with numerical simulations.
