With substituting F(T) = T - 2[[LAMBDA].sub.5] in (11), the approximate solution of desitter for brane is obtained as H = [H.sub.DE] = [square root of (([[LAMBDA].sub.5] + [K.sup.4.sub.5][[lambda].sup.2]/6)]), where [mathematical expression not reproducible] with [a.sub.DE] > 0, and T = -6[H.sup.2] is assumed.
