Abstract
We explore a square-law k-inflation using the Hamilton-Jacobi approach. Focusing on scenarios where the Hubble parameter exhibits a power-law dependence on the k-field, our analysis encompasses the computations of crucial observables, such as the scalar power spectrum, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the scalar spectral index. We further constrain the model's parameters using Planck data and present a specific form of the potential. Our results demonstrate that the model aligns well with observational data.
