Astrophysics and Space Science Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A method is furnished for constructing isotropic and homogeneous solutions in Brans-Dicke theory based on the analysis of the dynamical system formed by the field equations. Large classes of solutions found in the literature are recovered and shown to be special cases of those generated by this method.
