Generalized Brans-Dicke inflation with a quartic potential

Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Kayoomars Karami

Within the framework of Brans-Dicke gravity, we investigate inflation with the quartic potential, $\lambda {\phi }^4/4$, in the presence of generalized Brans-Dicke parameter ${\omega }_{\mathrm{GBD}}(\phi )$. W…
