Abstract: We study the dynamics of the FLRW flat cosmological models in which the vacuum energy density varies with time, $Lambda(t)$. In particular, we investigate the dynamical properties of a generalized vacuum model and we find that under certain conditions the vacuum term in the radiation era varies as $Lambda(z)propto(1+z{)}^4$, while in the matter era we have $Lambda(z)propto(1+z{)}^3$ up to $zsimeq3$ and $Lambda(z)=Lambda$ for $zle3$. The confirmation of such a behavior would be of paramount importance because it could provide a solution to the cosmic coincidence problem as well as to the fine tuning problem, without changing the well known (from the concordance $Lambda$ cosmology) Hubble expansion.
