Weber, E

In this article we analyze a particular class of anisotropic cosmological models, the Kantowski--Sachs models, in the presence of a nonzero cosmological constant ..lambda... We study them qualitatively by means of autonomous systems with two and three dimensions. The plane autonomous system gives a new class of empty Kantowski--Sachs cosmologies, with ..lambda..>0 and ..lambda..<0. We find two new types of singularity points. The autonomous system with three dimensions yields a set of solutions of nonzero measure becoming isotropic in an infinite cosmological time.
