Abstract

Recently a class of inflationary models satisfying the constant rate of roll constraint, ϕ¨+(3+α)Hϕ˙=0\ddot{\phi}+(3+\alpha)H\dot{\phi}=0, has been studied and compared with the latest cosmological observational data. We consider the broader class of constraints ϕ¨+α12ϕ˙+α2Hϕ˙=0 \ddot{\phi}+\frac{\alpha_1}{2}\dot{\phi}+\alpha_2 H\dot{\phi}=0 and find an exact particular solution, without initial singularity, which is an attractor of the dynamics governed by a positive periodic potential V(ϕ)=E+Fcos(Ωϕ)+Gcos(2Ωϕ)V(\phi)=E+ F \cos (\Omega \phi )+G \cos (2 \Omega \phi ). The spectral index nsn_s and the tensor to scalar ratio rr are consistent with the recent observational data.
