%0 Journal Article %T A New Class of LRS Bianchi Type-I Cosmological Models in Lyra's Manifold %A Anirudh Pradhan %A D. S. Chauhan %J Physics %D 2006 %I arXiv %X LRS Bianchi type-I models have been studied in the cosmological theory based on Lyra's geometry. A new class of exact solutions has been obtained by considering a time dependent displacement field for variable deceleration parameter models of the universe. We have compared our models with those of Einstein's field theory with the cosmological term $\Lambda$. Our frame of reference is restricted to the recent Ia observations of supernovae. Some physical behaviour of the models is also examined in the presence of perfect fluids. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0608056v1
