Abstract
We study the physical behavior of the transition of a 5D perfect fluid universe from an early decelerating phase to the current accelerating phase in the framework of f(R, T) theory of gravity in the presence of domain walls. The fifth dimension is not observed because it is compact. To determine the solution of the field equations, we use the concept of a time-dependent deceleration parameter which yields the scale factor a(t) = sinh1/n(αt), where n and α are positive constants. For 0 < n ≤ 1, this generates a class of accelerating models, while for n > 1 the universe attains a phase transition from an early decelerating phase to the present accelerating phase, consistent with the recent observations. Some physical and geometric properties of the models are also discussed.
