Abstract

In the context of a family os scalar-tensor theories with a dynamical Λ\Lambda, that is a binomial on the scalar field, the cosmological equations are considered. A general barotropic state equation p=(γ1)ρp=(\gamma-1)\rho, for a perfect fluid is used for the matter content of the Universe. Some Friedmann- Robertson-Walker exact solutions are found, they have scale factor wich shows exponential or power law dependence on time. For some models the singularity can be avoided. Cosmological parameters as Ωm\Omega_m, ΩΛ\Omega_{\Lambda}, q0q_0 and t0t_0 are obtained and compared with observational data.
