Stability of self-accelerating solutions in modified gravity models

The observed accelerated expansion of the universe is one of the big issues of modern cosmology. One possible way of understanding it is by modifying General Relativity so that gravity is weaker at large scales. Higher-dimensional models that offer infrared modifications of gravity provide just that...
