The paper presents a classification of the basic types of admissible solutions of the general Friedmann equation with non-vanishing cosmological constant and for the case that radiation and matter do not couple. There are four distinct types. The classification uses first the discriminant of a polynomial of the third degree, closely related to the right hand side of the Friedmann equation. The decisive term is then a critical radiation density which can be calculated explicitly.
