    The Quantum cosmology with Born-Infeld(B-I) type scalar field is considered. In the extreme limits of small cosmological scale factor the wave function of the universe can also be obtained by applying the methods developed by Hartle-Hawking(H-H) and Vilenkin. H-H wave function predicts that most Probable cosmological constant Λ\Lambda equals to 1η\frac{1}{\eta}(12η\frac{1}{2\eta} equals to the maximum of the kinetic energy of scalar field). It is different from the original results(Λ=0\Lambda=0) in cosmological constant obtained by Hartle-Hawking. The Vilenkin wave function predicts a nucleating unverse with largest possible cosmological constant and it is larger than 1/η1/\eta. The conclusions have been nicely to reconcile with cosmic inflation. We investigate the inflation model with B-I type scalar field, and find that η\eta depends on the amplitude of tensor perturbation δh\delta_h, with the form 1η≃m212π[(9δΦ2Nδh2)2−1].\frac{1}{\eta}\simeq \frac{m^2}{12\pi[(\frac{9\delta_{\Phi}^2}{N \delta_h^2})^2-1]}. The vacuum energy in inflation epoch depends on the tensor-to-scalar ratio δhδΦ\frac{\delta_h}{\delta_{\Phi}}. The amplitude of the tensor perturbation δh{\delta_{h}} can, in principle, be large enough to be discovered. However, it is only on the border of detectability in future experiments. If it has been observed in future, this is very interesting to determine the vacuum energy in inflation epoch.Comment: 12 pages, one figure, references added, accepted by European Physical Journal
