A generalized Heckmann-Schucking cosmological solution in the presence of a negative cosmological constant

An exact solution of the Einstein equations for a Bianchi-I universe in the presence of dust, stiff matter and a negative cosmological constant, generalising the well-known Heckmann-Schucking solution is presented. This solution describes a universe existing during a finite period of cosmic time, where the beginning and the end of its evolution are characterized by the presence of Kasner type cosmological singularities.
