Please help me, what is the difference between the following [tex] d_L [/tex] relations
1. FRW model
[tex]d_L=5 \mbox{log} \left( (1+z) \frac{c}{H_0} |\Omega_k|^{-1/2}\ \mbox{Sinn} \left[ \ |\Omega_k|^{1/2} \int _{0}^{z} [(1+z^{\prime })^{2}(1+\Omega_{m}z^{\prime})-z^{\prime}(2+z^{\prime} )(\Omega _{\Lambda})]^{-1/2}\; dz^{\prime} \right] \right)[/tex]
where
[tex]\Omega_k=1-\Omega_m-\Omega_\Lambda[/tex]
[tex]\mbox{Sinn}(x) = \mbox{Sin}(x) \mbox{ for } \Omega_m + \Omega_\Lambda > 1 [/tex]
[tex]\mbox{Sinn}(x) = \mbox{Sinh}(x) \mbox{ for } \Omega_m + \Omega_\Lambda < 0 [/tex]
and
[tex]\mbox{Sinn}(x) = x \mbox{ for } \Omega_m + \Omega_\Lambda = 1 [/tex]

2. [tex]\Lambda[/tex]CDM model
[tex]d_L=5 \mbox{log} \left( (1+z) \frac{c}{H_0} |\Omega_k|^{-1/2}\ \mbox{Sinn} \left[ \ |\Omega_k|^{1/2} \int _{0}^{z} [\Omega_m (1+z^{\prime }) ^3+\Omega_k (1+z^{\prime })^2+\Omega_\Lambda]^{-1/2}\; dz^{\prime} \right] \right)[/tex]
where
[tex]\Omega_k=\frac{k}{H_0 ^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mbox{Sinn}(x) = \mbox{Sin}(x) \mbox{ for } k > 0 [/tex]
[tex]\mbox{Sinn}(x) = \mbox{Sinh}(x) \mbox{ for } k< 0 [/tex]
and
[tex]\mbox{Sinn}(x) = x \mbox{ for } k = 0 [/tex]

Can I put [tex]\Omega_k=1-\Omega_m-\Omega_\Lambda[/tex] in the second case ([tex]\Lambda[/tex]CDM) as well?
Kindly treat me as a beginner and correct me.

What is the difference between FRW and LCDM models
Yes, if you do that and perform some algebra you should find that they're exactly the same equation.Can I put Ωk = 1 − Ωm − ΩΛ in the second case (ΛCDM) as well?
