Cosmic scenario with Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

By taking into account the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet dilaton-coupled interaction in the background of the Robertson-Walker metric, we provide some bouncing solutions of the early universe from analytic solutions of the field equations for vanishing three space curvature. For a few potentials, the solutions involving the slow-roll-type approximation produce results that are very same to those of the early era's bouncing solutions. Considering a different approach of slow-roll approximation, the universe goes through much faster initially than standard inflation, but at a later stage, the universe enters into standard exponential inflation.
