Abstract
Evolution of the universe is discussed in the framework of f(R) theory of gravity. The deceleration parameter is used to interpret various phases of the universe. We investigate the future evolution of the flat FRW universe by using observationally viable f(R) models. A numerical technique is applied to solve the evolution equation in terms of Hubble parameter which is used to explore late time acceleration of the universe. Some novel and interesting results based on the choice of coupling parameters in gravitational action are obtained. We can conclude that the considered f(R) models imply unification of matter dominated epoch with present accelerating phase of the universe.
