Phys. Rev. D 76, 127501 (2007) [4 pages]Viability criterion for modified gravity with an extra forceReceived 21 July 2007; published 17 December 2007 A recently proposed theory of modified gravity with an explicit anomalous coupling of the Ricci curvature to matter is discussed, and an inequality is derived which expresses a necessary and sufficient condition to avoid the notorious Dolgov-Kawasaki instability. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
