Description

We propose a cosmology based on the Brans-Dicke theory with a cosmological term dependent in the scalar field. It is shown the existence of a solution in a Robertson-Walker metric that does not suffer from any unnatural fine tuning in the very early Universe such as the horizon, homogeneity, isotropy and flatness problems and does not present any difficulty concerning the GUTs magnetic monopoles.
