Abstract: (Elsevier)
To study the generality of inflation from lagrangians containing higher orders of curvature, we consider the effects of R 3 and R □ R terms on the R 2 inflationary scenario. Both direct analysis and conformal techniques are used. We find that both terms restrict the initial conditions which will lead to a satisfactory inflationary cosmology.
