ABSTRACT
In the present paper, we study a homogeneous cosmological model in Friedmann-Robertson- Walker (FRW) space-time by means of the so-called Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). First, we briefly recall the main equations of the cosmological model and the basic idea of HPM. Next we consider the test example when the exact solution of the model is known, in order to approbate the HPM in cosmology and present the main steps in solving by this method. Finally, we obtain a solution for the spatially flat FRW model of the universe filled with the dust and quintessence when the exact solution cannot be found. A comparison of our solution with the corresponding numerical solution shows that it is of a high degree of accuracy.
