Show affiliationsThe cosmological constant problem is how one chooses, without fine-tuning, one singular point Λeff = 0 for the 4D cosmological constant. We argue that some recently discovered weak self-tuning solutions can be viewed as blowing-up this one point into a band of some parameter. These weak self-tuning solutions may have a virtue that only de Sitter space solutions are allowed outside this band, allowing an inflationary period. We adopt the hybrid inflation at the brane to exit from this inflationary phase and to enter into the standard Big Bang cosmology.
