The cosmological constant and classical tests of general relativity

JN Islam - Physics Letters A, 1983 - Elsevier
An upper limit of 10-42 cm-2 is placed on the absolute value of the cosmological constant by
comparing with the prediction of the perihelion shift of Mercury. It is shown that the bending …
