Abstract: We use Boulware's Hamiltonian formalism of quadratic gravity theories in order to analyze the classical behaviour of Bianchi cosmological models for a Lagrangian density containing quadratic terms in the curvature. For this purpose we define a canonical transformation which leads to a clear distinction between two main variants of the quadratic theory, namely the R-squared or conformal Lagrangian densities. In this paper we restrict the study to the first variant. For Bianchi type I and IX models we give the explicit forms of the super-Hamiltonian constraint, of the ADM Hamiltonian density and of the corresponding canonical equations. In the case of a pure R-squared theory we solve these equations analytically for Bianchi I model. For Bianchi type IX model, we reduce the first-order equations of the Hamiltonian system to three coupled second-order equations for the true physical degrees of freedom. This discussion is extended to isotropic FLRW models.
