Abstract

A new parameterization for the dark energy equation of state(EoS) is proposed and some of its cosmological consequences are also investigated. This new parameterization is the modification of Efstathiou' dark energy EoS parameterization. $w (z)$ is a well behaved function for $z\gg1$ and has same behavior in $z$ at low redshifts with Efstathiou' parameterization. In this parameterization there are two free parameter $w_0$ and $w_a$. We discuss the constraints on this model's parameters from current observational data. The best fit values of the cosmological parameters with $1\sigma$ confidence-level regions are: $\Omega_m=0.2735^{+0.0171}_{-0.0163}$, $w_0=-1.0537^{+0.1432}_{-0.1511}$ and $w_a=0.2738^{+0.8018}_{-0.8288}$.
