A D-dimensional gravitational model with a Gauss–Bonnet term and the cosmological term is studied. We assume the metrics to be diagonal cosmological ones. For certain fine-tuned
, we find a class of solutions with exponential time dependence of two scale factors, governed by two Hubble-like parameters
and h, corresponding to factor spaces of dimensions 3 and
, respectively and
. The fine-tuned
depends upon the ratio
, l and the ratio
of two constants (
and
) of the model. For fixed
and
the equation
is equivalent to a polynomial equation of either fourth or third order and may be solved in radicals (the example
is presented). For certain restrictions on x we prove the stability of the solutions in a class of cosmological solutions with diagonal metrics. A subclass of solutions with small enough variation of the effective gravitational constant G is considered. It is shown that all solutions from this subclass are stable.
