We study the cosmic evolution of non-minimally coupled f ( R , T ) gravity in the presence of matter fluids consisting of collisional self-interacting dark matter and radiation. We study the cosmic evolution in the presence of collisional matter, and we compare the results with those corresponding to non-collisional matter and the Λ -cold-dark-matter ( Λ CDM) model. Particularly, for a flat Friedmann–Lema i ^ tre–Robertson–Walker Universe, we study two non-minimally coupled f ( R , T ) gravity

Our study is focused on the late-time behavior of the effective equation of the state parameter ω e f f and of the deceleration parameter q as functions of the redshift for a Universe containing collisional and non-collisional dark matter fluids, and we compare both models with the Λ CDM model. As we demonstrate, the resulting picture is well accommodated to the latest observational data on the basis of physical parameters.
