Abstract

A five-dimensional Bianchi type-I inflationary Universe is investigated in the presence of massless scalar field with a flat potential. To get an inflationary Universe, a flat region in which the potential V is constant is considered. Some physical and kinematical properties of the Universe are also discussed.
