Here we construct and analyze the relative stability of a bipolytrope in which the core has an polytropic index and the envelope has an polytropic index.

Recall that,
and
Also, go here for definition of , which identifies the location of the specific-entropy step function; stability against convection is ensured whenever .
We also have explored a "new normalization" based on holding and constant. Here we want to perform a Bonnor-Ebert-type analysis, examining how varies with radius if we hold and the core mass constant along an equilibrium sequence. According to our initial normalization — see, for example, here — we can write,
Therefore, from the analytic profiles that describe the core, we have,
Here we solve the LAWE numerically (on a uniformly zoned mesh — different for the separate core/envelope regions) using a 2nd-order accurate, implicit integration scheme in which the LAWE is broken into a pair of 1st-order ODEs. These results should be compared against a separate succinct discussion of our analysis obtained from integrating the LAWE in its standard 2nd-order ODE form.
Properties of Neutral Fundamental Mode for Various Sequences
Numbers presented in the following table should be compared against our earlier determinations. Various things to note:
As discussed elsewhere — for example, here — when , the radial displacement function for the core — that is, for all — should be given precisely by the expression,
Hence, given that ξi = 1.6639103365 as viewed from the perspective of the core, the magnitude of, and the logarithmic derivative of the radial displacement function should have the values, respectively,
and
As discussed elsewhere — for example, here — we expect,

Adding models to the above table, here we choose and iterate until we have found the value of that corresponds to the fundamental-mode. At the interface, we expect,
Throughout the core, for the neutral (i.e., ) fundamental mode of oscillation, we expect that,
Given that at the interface, we expect,
Similarly at the surface of the envelope for the neutral (i.e., ) fundamental mode of oscillation, we expect that,
