What is the origin of dark energy?
The simplest candidate: Cosmological constant However this suffers from a fine-tuning problem
if it originates from a vacuum energy.
Dynamical dark energy models
Quintessence, k-essence, chaplygin gas, tachyon, f (R) gravity, scalar-tensor theories, Braneworld, Galileon, …

Cosmological constant problem
The energy scale of dark energy today is

or, Cosmo-illogical constant problem (by Rocky Kolb)
If we take the Planck scale as a cut-off scale, the energy scale of the vacuum energy is
Problem even before 1998
See my review in 1989. by Steven Weinberg

The cosmological constant is (i) sufficiently small to explain the energy scale of dark energy?(ii) or, completely zero?
Case (i): Both the cosmological constant and the dark energy problems are solved at the same time.
Economical
Case (ii): The cosmological constant problem is solved, but the dark energy problem has to be addressed.
This possibility remains.
`Modified matter’ (such as a scalar field) is introduced, or gravity is modified from Einstein gravity (Dynamical dark energy) .

In supersymmetric theories the vacuum energy is zero if supersymmetry is unbroken, but in real word supersymmetry is broken.
Cancellation is required

Since the potential tends to be flatter, the evolutionof the field slows down.

Some people tried to solve the coincidence problem of dark energy by considering a specific Lagrangian
However it is difficult to construct such models theoretically. Moreover they typically have the superluminal propagation speed.

This term leads to the late-time acceleration.
However this model is not valid because of the following reasons.
(I) Incompatible with local gravity tests Chiba, Dolgov and Kawasaki, …(II) Instability of cosmological perturbations Hu, Tegmark, Trodden,…(III) Absence of the matter era Amendola, Polarski and S.T,…

Conditions for the cosmological viability of f(R) dark energy models
1.To avoid ghosts
2.
The mass M of a scalar-field degree of freedom needs to be positive for consistency with local gravity constraints (LGC).
This condition is also required for the stability of perturbations.
3.
For the presence of the matter era and for consistency with LGC.
4. The presence of a stable late-time de Sitter point
(R : present cosmological Ricci scalar)
0
To avoid tachyonic instability
