This paper is devoted to study FRW universe in the context of Chern–Simons corrected f (R) gravity. In particular, the work provides the investigation of cosmological dynamics within modified gravity by assuming a suitable Hubble parameter that might result in a realistic bouncing universe. For this purpose, we consider a suitable Hubble parameter and examine the bouncing cosmology by assuming a well-known f (R) gravity model. Further, we explore the behavior of energy density and pressure profiles by employing the chosen Hubble parameter. We obtain positive and increasing trends of energy density during the bouncing phase while the negative behavior of pressure in our work could potentially be associated with cosmic expansion. We have also studied the energy conditions and in our case NEC is not violated perhaps due to the reason that the equation of state parameter is not crossing the phantom divide. However, the SEC is violated justifying a successful bounce. Moreover, the validation of DEC and TEC suggests that the chosen model is well behaved in nature. The Hubble parameter passing through the bouncing point shows an increasing trend, indicating an expansion phase after the bounce. The equation of state parameter is negative after the bouncing spot, particularly around ω ≈ − 1. This behavior justifies the current cosmic expansion. The deceleration parameter exhibits a negative behavior implies that the cosmological model demonstrates cosmic expansion. Thus all the results validate the existence of a bouncing universe with the chosen model in Chern–Simons corrected f (R) gravity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
