Abstract

We study a closed model of a universe filled with viscous fluid and quintessence matter components. The dynamical equations imply that the universe might look like an accelerated flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universe at low redshift. We consider here dissipative processes which obey a causal thermodynamics. Here, we account for the entropy production via causal dissipative inflation.
