Abstract
We present some exact solutions and a phase space analysis of metric -gravity models of the type . We divide our discussion in and models. The later model is a good approximation, at late times to the gravity model, being this an example of a non--singular case. For models we have found power law solutions for the scale factor that are attractors and that comply with WMAP 5-years data if or . On the other hand, the quadratic model has the de Sitter solution as an attractor, that also complies with WMAP 5-years data.
