Abstract

We investigate the cosmological reconstruction in an anisotropic universe for both the homogeneous and inhomogeneous content of the universe. Special attention is given to three interesting cases: Bianchi type I, Bianchi type III, and Kantowski-Sachs models. The de Sitter, power-law, and general exponential solutions are assumed for the scale factor in each spatial direction and the corresponding cosmological models are reconstructed. Moreover, for the general exponential solutions---from which the de Sitter and power-law solutions may be obtained---we obtain models which reproduce the early Universe (assuming inflation) and the late-time accelerated expanding Universe. The models obtained for the late-time Universe are consistent with a known result in the literature where a power-law type correction in $T$ is added to a power-law type of $f(T)$ for guaranteeing the avoidance of the big rip and the big freeze.
