Abstract

We apply an extended version of the method developed by Chimento and Jakubi [Int. J. Mod. Phys. D 5, 71 (1996)], to derive exact cosmological (flat) Friedmann-Robertson-Walker solutions in RS2 brane models with a perfect fluid of ordinary matter plus a scalar field fluid trapped on the brane. We found new exact solutions, which could serve to unify inflation and quintessence in a common theoretical framework.
