Oct, 2002Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
Three solutions of the Brans-Dicke theory with a self-interacting quartic potential and perfect fluid distribution are presented for a spatially flat geometry. The physical behavior is consistent with the recent cosmological scenario favored by type Ia supernova observations, indicating an accelerated expansion of the Universe.- Brans-Dicke model
