As a concrete application of the energy conditions to locally homogeneous and isotropic f(R)−cosmology, the recent estimated values of the deceleration and jerk parameters are used to examine the bounds from the weak energy condition on the free parameter of the family of f(R) = qR2 − R2 0 gravity theory. %@area CEA %@e-mailaddress rosemary@crn.inpe.br %@documentstage not transferred %@group %@group %@group CRN-CIE-INPE-MCT-BR %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES. %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup rosemary@crn.inpe.br %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3EUAPES %@affiliation Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte %@affiliation Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@versiontype publisher %@holdercode {isadg {BR SPINPE} ibi 8JMKD3MGPCW/3DT298S} %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m18@80/2008/07.29.17.01.01
