A Quintessence Problem in Self-interacting Brans-Dicke Theory

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

A quintessence scalar field in self-interacting Brans-Dicke theory is shown to give rise to a non-decelerated expansion of the present universe for open, flat and closed models. Along with providing a non-decelerating solution, it can potentially solve the flatness problem too.
