Abstract

The axially symmetric cosmological model is investigated in the presence of anisotropic dark energy. Exact solutions of the Einstein field equations are obtained by a special law of variation for the mean Hubble parameter, which yields a constant value of the deceleration parameter. Geometrical and kinematic properties of the model and the anisotropy of the dark energy have been carried out.
