Assume spatial flatness, negligible radiation, separately conserved pressureless matter and dark energy, and . Let be the dark-energy equation-of-state parameter. The cosmological continuity equation gives
Combining this with in the Friedmann equation yields
with . For , the dark-energy factor is constant and this reduces to the matter-plus-cosmological constant model. Nonzero cosmological spatial curvature, radiation or energy exchange between the components requires additional terms or modified continuity equations.
