We study structure formation in phenomenological models in which the Friedmann equation receives a correction of the form Hα/rc2 − α, to realize an accelerated expansion without dark energy. In order to address structure formation in these models, we construct simple covariant gravitational equations which give the modified Friedmann equation with α = 2/n, where n is an integer. For n = 2, the underlying theory is known as a five-dimensional (5D) braneworld model (the DGP model). Thus the…
