Abstract: We study general dynamical equations describing homogeneous isotropic cosmologies coupled to a scalaron psi. For flat cosmologies (k=0), we analyze in detail the gauge-independent equation describing the differential, chi(alpha)equivpsiprime(alpha), of the map of the metric alpha to the scalaron field psi, which is the main mathematical characteristic locally defining a `portrait' of a cosmology in `alpha-version'. In the `psi-version', a similar equation for the differential of the inverse map, , can be solved asymptotically or for some `integrable' scalaron potentials v(psi). In the flat case, and chi(alpha) satisfy the first-order differential equations depending only on the logarithmic derivative of the potential. Once we know a general analytic solution for one of these chi-functions, we can explicitly derive all characteristics of the cosmological model. In the alpha-version, the whole dynamical system is integrable for keq0 and with any `alpha-potential', , replacing v(psi). There is no a priori relation between the two potentials before deriving chi or , which implicitly depend on the potential itself, but relations between the two pictures can be found by asymptotic expansions or by inflationary perturbation theory. Explicit applications of the results to a more rigorous treatment of the chaotic inflation models and to their comparison with the ekpyrotic-bouncing ones are outlined in the frame of our `alpha-formulation' of isotropic scalaron cosmologies. In particular, we establish an inflationary perturbation expansion for chi. When all the conditions for inflation are satisfied and chi obeys a certain boundary (initial) condition, we get the standard inflationary parameters, with higher-order corrections.
