Abstract

We study the Brans-Dicke model in the presence of an axion. The dynamical equations are solved when the fields are space independent and the metric is spatially flat. It is found that at late time the scale factor undergoes decelerated expansion but the dilaton grows large. At early time, scale factor and the dilaton approach constants.
