Covariant perturbations in f (R) - gravity of multi-component fluid cosmologies

Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 82-84). === We study the evolution of scalar cosmological perturbations in the 1+3 Covariant Gauge-Invariant formalism for generic f(R) theories of gravity. Working in the energy frame of the total matter, we give a complete set equa...
