Abstract

The integrability conditions for a certain second order ordinary differential equation in two variables are studied via the concept of decomposability of the associated differential operator. The results are applied to regain in a unified manner the known exact solutions for locally rotationally symmetric, spatially homogeneous cosmological models. In addition, new solutions are obtained.
