Kinetic scalar curvature extended f(R) gravity

In this work we study a modified version of vacuum f(R) gravity with a kinetic term which consists of the first derivatives of the Ricci scalar. We develop the general formalism of this kinetic Ricci modified f(R) gravity and we emphasize on cosmological applications for a spatially flat cosmologica...
