  In light of the results from the WMAP three-year sky survey, we study an
inflationary model based on a single-field polynomial potential, with up to
quartic terms in the inflaton field. Our analysis is performed in the context
of the Randall-Sundrum II braneworld theory, and we consider both the
high-energy and low-energy (i.e. the standard cosmology case) limits of the
theory. We examine the parameter space of the model, which leads to both
large-field and small-field inflationary type solutions. We conclude that small
field inflation, for a potential with a negative mass square term, is in
general favored by current bounds on the tensor-to-scalar perturbation ratio
rs.
