Abstract
We apply methods of dynamical systems to study the behaviour of universe dominated by the generalized Chaplygin gas. We reduce the dynamics to a 2-dimensional Hamiltonian system and study its behaviour for various ranges of parameters. The dynamics is studied on the phase plane by using methods of qualitative analysis of differential equations. The behaviour of trajectories at infinity is studied in some convenient coordinates introduced on the phase plane. Hence we shown that FRW model with the generalized Chaplygin gas is structurally stable. We clearly find the domains of cosmic acceleration as well as conditions for which the horizon problem is solved. We also define some general class of fluids which generalize the Chaplygin gas. The dynamics of such models in terms of energy conditions is also discussed.Keywords
