| Abstract: |
We have solved cosmological gravitational wave (GW) equation in the
framework of generalised Brans–Dicke (GBD) theory for all epochs
of the Universe. The solutions are expressed in terms of the present
value ω0 of the Brans–Dicke coupling
parameter. We also obtain the constraints on ω0
for the solutions to represent growing modes in different epochs. |
