Abstract
We propose and investigate a general form of the dissipative coefficient in warm inflation. We focus on discussing the strong dissipative processes in the thermal state of approximate equilibrium. To this toy model, we give the slow-roll conditions, the amplitude and the index of the power spectrum under the general form of dissipative coefficient. Furthermore, the monomial potential and the hybrid-like potential are analyzed specifically. We conclude that the cases are worthy further investigation especially.
