Abstract
A five dimensional FRW cosmological space-time is considered in the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (Phys. Lett. A 113:467, 2003) in the presence of a perfect fluid source. Cosmological models corresponding to stiff fluid, disordered radiation, dust and false vacuum are obtained. Some physical and kinematical properties of each of the models are also studied.
