LRS Bianchi type-V universe with variable modified Chaplygin gas in a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation.

The spatially homogeneous and anisotropic LRS Bianchi type-V Universe filled with variable modified Chaplygin gas in the framework of the Brans-Dicke (Brans and Dicke. Phys. Rev. 124, 925 (1961). scalar-tensor theory of gravitation has been studied. To obtain a determinate solution of the field equations we have used the condition that scalar field () is a function of average scale factor. Some physical and kinematical properties of the model are discussed. We have also analyzed the stability of the solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
