Modified gravity models are subject to a number of consistency requirements which restrict the form that the function F(R) can take. We study a particular class of F(R) functions which satisfy various constraints that have been found in the literature. These models have a late time accelerating epoch, and an acceptable matter era. We calculate the Friedmann equation for our models, and show that in...
