Abstract.

Bianchi type-I space-time is considered in the presence of a domain walls source in the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Brans and Dicke (C.H. Brans and R.H. Dicke, Phys. Rev. 24, 925 (1961)). With the help of the special law of variation for Hubble’s parameter proposed by Bermann (M.S. Berman, Nuovo Cimento B 74, 182 (1983)) a cosmological model with negative constant deceleration parameter is obtained in the presence of domain walls. Some physical properties of the model are also discussed.
