Holographic considerations are used in the scrutiny of a special class of brane-world cosmologies. Inherently to this class, the brane typically bounces, at a finite size, as a consequence of a charged black hole in the bulk. Whereas a prior treatment [hep-th/0301010] emphasized a brane that is void of standard-model matter, the analysis is now extended to include an intrinsic (radiation-dominated) matter source. An interesting feature of this generalized model is that a bounce is no longer guaranteed but, rather, depends on the initial conditions. Ultimately, we demonstrate that compliance with an appropriate holographic bound is a sufficient prerequisite for a bounce to occur.
