This research has been carried out in collaboration with R. Kolevatov, S. Mironov, V. Rubakov and N. Sukhov. We study the approach suggested by Deffayet et al. for obtaining a derivative part of the quadratic action for scalar perturbations in the cubic Horndeski theory. We analyse the validity of the approach and generalize it for the complete Horndeski theory. We explicitly check that the generalized method gives the correct result.
