A Quintessence Problem in Brans-Dicke Theory with Varying Speed of Light

Abstract

It is shown that minimally coupled scalar field in Brans-Dicke theory with varying speed of light can solve the quintessence problem and it is possible to have a non-decelerated expansion of the present universe with BD-theory for anisotropic models without any matter.
