Derivation of conditions for a Brans-Dicke coupling constant of order unity be consistent with solar system bounds

Abstract

We provide proofs of some assumptions recently made by F. O. Minotti to conclude on the possibility that an additional scalar field minimally coupled to gravity may help to reconcile a Brans-Dicke coupling constant ω of the order unity with solar system bounds.
