Abstract

A novel formulation of an accelerated expansion of a closed universe in which the cosmological constant decays like Λ = (β/t)(˙a/a), where β is a positive parameter and a(t) is the scale factor, is presented and discussed in some details. The phenomenological decaying law is motivated from the fractional action-like variational approach (or fractionally differentiated Lagrangian function (FDLF)) recently introduced by the author.

Keywords
