Abstract
Under the assumption of a power law between the expansion factor of the Universe and the scalar field of the second self-creation theory proposed by G. A. Barber, the cosmological equations are reduces to quadratures. Several exact solutions are obtained, among them linearly expanding and inflationary universes with a barotropic equation of state.
