| Summary: | Within the framework of the local limit of nonlocal gravity (NLG), we investigate a class of Bianchi type I spatially homogeneous but anisotropic cosmological models. The modified field equations are presented in this case, and some special solutions are discussed in detail. This modified gravity theory contains a susceptibility function <i>S</i>(<i>x</i>) such that general relativity (GR) is recovered for <i>S</i> = 0. In the modified anisotropic cosmological models, we explore the contribution of <i>S</i>(<i>t</i>) and its temporal derivative to the local anisotropic cosmic acceleration. The implications of our results for observational cosmology are briefly discussed. |
