Does fractal universe describe a complete cosmic scenario?

The present work deals with evolution of the fractal model of the universe in the background of homogeneous and isotropic FLRW space-time geometry. The cosmic substrum is taken as perfect fluid with barotropic equation of state. A general prescription for the deceleration parameter is determined and it is examined whether the deceleration parameter may have more than one transition during the evolution of the fractal universe for monomial form of the fractal function as a function of the scale factor. Finally, the model has been examined by making comparison with the observed data. (orig.)
