摘要
We analyze the attractor behaviour of the inflation field in braneworld scenarios using the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, where the Friedmann equation has the form ofH2 = p ＋ εx/2poporH2 = p ＋εp2/2σ, with ε = ±1. We find that in all models the linear homogeneous perturbation can decay exponentially as the scalar field rolls down its potential. However, in the case of a -p2 correction to the standard cosmology with p 〈 or, the existence of an attractor solution requires （σ- p）/φ2 〉 1. Our results show that the perturbation decays more quickly in models with positive-energy correction than in the standard cosmology, which is opposite to the case of negative-energy correction. Thus, the positive-energy modification rather than the negative one can assist the inflation and widen the range of initial conditions.
