We find a new set of the Bianchi type I power-law expanding solutions in a string-motivated Dirac-Born-Infeld theory. Stability analysis shows that these power-law inflationary solutions remain stable with or without the contribution of the Dirac-Born-Infeld effect. We also find a new set of Bianchi type I expanding power-law solutions in a two scalar Dirac-Born-Infeld model with an additional phantom field. It is shown that the inclusion of the phantom field turns the Bianchi type I power-law solutions unstable during the inflationary phase.

The stability analysis of an anisotropic inflationary universe of the four dimensional NeveuSchwarz-Neveu-Schwarz string model with a nonvanishing cosmological constant is discussed in this paper. The accelerating expansion solution found earlier is shown to be stable against the perturbations with respect to the dilaton and axion fields once the dilaton field falls close to the local minimum of the symmetry-breaking potential. This indicates that the Bianchi I space tends to evolve to an isotropic flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space. This expanding solution is also shown to be stable against the perturbation with respect to anisotropic spatial directions.

A new set of Bianchi type I power-law expanding solutions is obtained for a supersymmetric Dirac–Born–Infeld (SDBI) theory coupled to a gauge field. Stability analysis is also performed to show that this set of power-law expanding solutions is stable. In particular, this set of power-law solutions provides an explicit example to the role played by the supersymmetry correction term. We also show by a general approach that any stable anisotropic solution of SDBI model will turn unstable when a phantom field is introduced. We also show that the result of the scalar perturbation indicates that the SDBI model is a realistic model.

We will study the cosmological solutions of a class of Galileon models. A special class of the Bianchi type I power-law solutions will be presented in this paper. We will show that these Bianchi type I power-law solutions are stable during the inflationary phase. In addition, we will also show that the presence of a phantom field induces at least an unstable mode for the perturbation equation and destabilizes the powerlaw solutions.
