dc.descriptionWe have studied a cosmological model with a cosmological term of the form $Λ=3α\fr{\dot R^2}{R^2}+\bt\fr{\ddot R}{R}+\fr{3γ}{R^2} α, \ \bt γ$ are constants. The scale factor (R) is found to vary linearly with time for both radiation and matter dominated epochs. The cosmological constant is found to decrease as $t^{-2}$ and the rate of particle creation is smaller than the Steady State value. The model gives $Ω^Λ=\fr{1}{3}$ and $Ω^m=\fr{2}{3}$ in the present era, $Ω^Λ=Ω^m=\fr{1}{2}$ in the radiation era. The present age of the universe $(\rm t_p$) is found to be $\rm t_p=H_p^{-1}$ , where $\rm H_p$ is the Hubble constant. The model is free from the main problems of the Standard Model. Since the scale factor $\rm R\propto t$ during the entire evolution of the universe the ratio of the cosmological constant at the Planck and present time is $\rm\fr{Λ_{Pl}}{Λ_p}=10^{120}$. This decay law justifies why, today, the cosmological constant is exceedingly small.
