For flat FRW universes in Lovelock gravity, the dynamics reduces to a single first-order ODE whose fixed and singular points classify all evolutions, including a new 'Big Shock' initial state for N>4 with negative couplings.

abstract
We present a new $f(Q)$ cosmological model capable of reproducing late-time acceleration, i.e. $f\left( Q\right) = \lambda_{0}\left( \lambda +Q\right) ^{n}$ by supporting certain parametrization of the Hubble parameter. By using observational data from Hubble, Pantheon, and Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) dataset, we investigate the constraints on the proposed quadratic Hubble parameter $H(z)$. This proposal caused the Universe to transition from its decelerated phase to its accelerated phase. Further, the current constrained value of the deceleration parameter from the combined Hubble+Pantheon+BAO dataset is $q_{0}=-0.285\pm 0.021$, which indicates that the Universe is accelerating. We also analyze the evolution of energy density, pressure, and EoS parameters to infer the Universe's accelerating behavior. Finally, we use a stability analysis with linear perturbations to assure the model's stability.

Cosmological dynamics based on Lovelock's gravity. Qualitative analysis
For flat FRW universes in Lovelock gravity, the dynamics reduces to a single first-order ODE whose fixed and singular points classify all evolutions, including a new 'Big Shock' initial state for N>4 with negative couplings.
