Abstract We use scaled variables to display a set coupled equations valid for<br />

isotropic <strong>and</strong> anisotropic Bianchi type I, V, IX mo<strong>de</strong>ls <strong>in</strong> scalar-tensor<br />

theories, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Dehnen’s <strong>in</strong>duced gravity theory. In particular, for<br />

the Brans–Dicke theory the equations <strong>de</strong>couple <strong>and</strong> one is able to <strong>in</strong>tegrate<br />

the system for FRW <strong>and</strong> Bianchi I <strong>and</strong> V mo<strong>de</strong>ls. Additionally,<br />

we analyze the possibility that anisotropic mo<strong>de</strong>ls asymptotically<br />

isotropize, <strong>and</strong>/or possess <strong>in</strong>flationary properties.<br />

Keywords: <strong>Scalar</strong>–tensor theories, exact solutions, cosmology.<br />

1. INTRODUCTION<br />

The CMBR measured by the COBE satellite [1], as well as current<br />

cosmological x–ray surveys, imply that the universe is nowadays at big<br />

scales homogeneous <strong>and</strong> isotropic, <strong>and</strong> must also has been hav<strong>in</strong>g these<br />

properties s<strong>in</strong>ce, at least, the era of nucleosynthesis [2]. In or<strong>de</strong>r to expla<strong>in</strong><br />

the isotropy of the universe from theoretical anisotropic mo<strong>de</strong>ls,<br />

many authors have consi<strong>de</strong>red the Bianchi mo<strong>de</strong>ls that can <strong>in</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>ciple<br />

evolve to a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) cosmology. It has<br />

been shown that some Bianchi mo<strong>de</strong>ls <strong>in</strong> General Relativity (GR) tend<br />

to their isotropic solutions, up some extent [3, 4], <strong>and</strong> even that they<br />

can expla<strong>in</strong> the level of anisotropy measured by COBE [5]. Motived<br />

by these facts, we have been work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Brans-Dicke (BD) theory [6]<br />

to <strong>in</strong>vestigate if Bianchi universes are able to isotropize as the universe<br />

evolves, <strong>and</strong> if its evolution can be <strong>in</strong>flationary. In previous <strong>in</strong>vestigations<br />

we have shown that anisotropic, Bianchi type I, V, <strong>and</strong> IX mo<strong>de</strong>ls<br />
