Some plane symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models in the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation

Abstract

The present study deals with the inhomogeneous plane symmetric models in scalar-tensor theory of gravitation. We used symmetry group analysis method to solve the field equations analytically. A new class of similarity solutions have been obtained by considering the inhomogeneous nature of metric potential. The physical behavior and geometrical aspects of the derived models are also discussed. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
