This paper is the first of two where we study this problem from a general point of view. Specifically, this paper is devoted to the study of the evolution of these cosmological horizons in an accelerated universe with two state equations, cosmological constant and dust. We have obtained simple expressions in terms of their respective recession velocities that generalize the previous results for one state equation only. With the equations of state considered, it is proved that both velocities remain always positive.application/pdfeng© 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srlPhysics of the early universeDark energy theoryCosmological simulationsresearch articleMatemáticas10.1088/1475-7516/2012/12/035open access12, 035Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics2012AR/0000033930
