%0 Journal Article %T Eigenvalues of the Stewart-Lyth equation for inflation with a blue spectrum %A Franz E. Schunck %A Eckehard W. Mielke %J Physics %D 2000 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0370-2693(00)00689-4 %X By using the rather stringent nonlinear second order slow-roll approximation, we reconsider the nonlinear second order Abel equation of Stewart and Lyth. We determine a new blue eigenvalue spectrum. Some of the discrete values of the spectral index $n_s$ have consistent fits to the cumulative COBE data as well as to recent ground-base CMB experiments. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0006348v1
