We derive the conditions under which dark energy models whose Lagrangian densities $f$ are written in terms of the Ricci scalar $R$ are cosmologically viable. We show that the cosmological behavior of $f(R)$ models can be understood by a geometrical approach consisting of studying the $m(r)$ curve on the $(r,m)$ …
