Dynamical study of the empty Bianchi type I model in generalised scalar-tensor theory

Abstract

A dynamical study of the generalised scalar-tensor theory in the empty Bianchi type I model is made. We use a method from which we derive the sign of the first and second derivatives of the metric functions and examine three different theories that can all tend towards relativistic behaviours at late time. We determine conditions so that the dynamic be in expansion and decelerated at late time.
