We use numerical integrations to study the asymptotical
behaviour of a homogeneous
but anisotropic Bianchi type
IX model in General Relativity with a massive scalar field. As it is well known, for a Brans-Dicke theory, the asymptotical
behaviour of the metric functions is ruled only
by the Brans-Dicke coupling constant
b>0b> with respect to the value –3/2. In this paper we examine if such a condition still exists with a massive scalar field. We also show that, contrary to what occurs for a massless scalar field, the singularity oscillatory approach may exist in the presence of a massive scalar field having a positive energy density.
