Abstract This thesis presents an in-depth analysis of two distinct models within the framework of modified gravity theories, focusing on their implications for cosmology an‎d the nature of dark energy. The first part of the study explores an extended teleparallel f(T,X,phi) gravity model using the Noether symmetry approach in the context of a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker spacetime. The analysis involves the torsion scalar T , the scalar field phi, an‎d the kinetic term X of the scalar field. By applying the Noether symmetry approach, we constrain the arbitrariness in the f(T,X,phi) function an‎d focus on two specific forms: one involving generalized teleparallel dark energy an‎d the other featuring a nonlinear function of the kinetic term. We investigate the Noether symmetry properties, demonstrating the presence of non-vanishing Noether vectors. For the first model, we simplify the field equations using X_4 Noether symmetry, representing scaling symmetry, an‎d introduce a cyclic variable to facilitate a workable formulation. This leads to a comprehensive graphical analysis, depicting the time evolution of the scale factor an‎d scalar field. For the second model, the Noether symmetry yields power-law solutions for the dynamic variables, indicating an accelerating expansion of the Universe, consistent with observational data. The second part of the thesis investigates the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) scalar field as a can‎didate for dark energy in a non-minimal coupling scenario within teleparallel gravity. Numerical solutions for the equations of motion are presented, an‎d various cosmological parameters are analyzed for different values of the parameters v an‎d f. The findings reveal that the DBI scalar field significantly contributes to the energy density of the Universe an‎d drives its late-time acceleration, with a transition from deceleration to acceleration observed within a redshift range consistent with recent observational constraints. The DBI scalar field exhibits behavior similar to a cosmological constant model, suggesting its potential as a viable alternative. The study underscores the need for further investigations to better understan‎d the nature of dark energy an‎d its implications for cosmology within teleparallel gravity. Overall, this thesis demonstrates the efficacy of the Noether symmetry approach in defining functional forms an‎d obtaining precise cosmological solutions. It highlights the potential of both the extended teleparallel gravity models an‎d the DBI scalar field in explaining cosmic acceleration an‎d contributes valuable insights into the evolving nature of the Universe.
