Assuming instant reheating, we make a comparative analysis of large-field polynomial inflation (PI). We first consider the minimal and non-minimal coupling of inflaton in R gravity, and then we continue with the minimally and non-minimally coupled inflaton in f(R, ϕ) gravity. We scan the parameter space for the inflationary predictions (ns and r) consistent with the Planck and BICEP/Keck 2018 results as well as the sensitivity forecast of the future CMB-S4 and depict the compliant regions in the ϕ0 − β plane where ϕ0 and β are two parameters of polynomial inflation model which control the saddle point of the potential and the flatness in the vicinity of this point respectively. We find that a substantial portion of the parameter space aligns with the observational data.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinflationmodified gravityarticle10.1088/1475-7516/2025/01/115
