We find that tracker solutions are possible only when η= d ln f /d ln ρis constant, aside from a few special cases, which are enumerated. Expressions for the quintessence or k-essence equation of state are derived as a function of ηand the equation of state of the dominant background component.6 pages, no figuresGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyAstrophysicsHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
