Abstract

For pure fourth order (LR2{\cal{L}} \propto R^2) quantum cosmology the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is solved exactly for the closed homogeneous and isotropic model. It is shown that by imposing as boundary condition that Ψ=0\Psi = 0 at the origin of the universe the wave functions behave as suggested by Vilenkin.
