MTMVMG is claimed to admit stable FLRW perturbations, with the mass-varying scalar as dark energy or inflaton, but stability inequalities are unverified and the phenomenology is fitted.

abstract
We study in a systematic way a generic nonderivative (massive) deformation of general relativity using the Hamiltonian formalism. The number of propagating degrees of freedom is analyzed in a nonperturbative and background independent way. We show that the condition of having only five propagating degrees of freedom can be cast in a set of differential equations for the deforming potential. Though the conditions are rather restrictive, many solutions can be found.

Stable Cosmology from Minimal Theory of Mass-Varying Massive Gravity
MTMVMG is claimed to admit stable FLRW perturbations, with the mass-varying scalar as dark energy or inflaton, but stability inequalities are unverified and the phenomenology is fitted.
