====Relationship to Tohline's Approach==== A comparison between the expression for <math>~r_i(t)/r_{0,i}</math> that appears in [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017ApJ...835...40C Coughlin's (2017)] derivation and the one published by [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1982FCPh....8....1T Tohline (1982)] suggests that, <div align="center"> <math>~f = \sin\zeta_i \, .</math> </div> Similarly, an inspection of the two, separately derived, expressions for time suggests that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\xi_i = t \biggl[ \frac{2GM_{0,i} }{r^3_i(t)} \biggr]^{1 / 2}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~t \biggl[ \frac{8\pi G \rho_c}{3}\biggr]^{1 / 2} \biggl[ \frac{3M_{0,i}}{4\pi \rho_c r^3_{0,i}}\biggr]^{1 / 2} \biggl[ \frac{r_{0,i}}{r_i(t)}\biggr]^{3 / 2}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~t \biggl[ \frac{A_{0,i} }{\tau_{ffc}}\biggr] \biggl[ \frac{1}{\cos^3\zeta_i}\biggr]</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl[ \zeta_i + \frac{1}{2} \sin(2\zeta_i) \biggr] \biggl[ \frac{1}{\cos^3\zeta_i}\biggr] \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Let's see whether these explicit expressions for <math>~f(\zeta_i)</math> and <math>~\xi_i(\zeta_i)</math> satisfy Coughlin's nonlinear ODE. Given that, <div align="center"> <math>~\frac{df}{d\zeta_i} = \frac{d\xi_i}{d\zeta_i} \cdot \frac{df}{d\xi_i} ~~~\Rightarrow ~~~ \biggl[ \frac{df}{d\xi_i} \biggr]^{-1} = \biggl[ \frac{df}{d\zeta_i} \biggr]^{-1} \frac{d\xi_i}{d\zeta_i} \, ,</math> </div> we can rewrite the ODE as, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~ (1-f^2)\biggl[ \frac{df}{d\zeta_i} \biggr]^{-1} \frac{d\xi_i}{d\zeta_i} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ 2 + 3\xi_i f \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> After adopting our proposed parameter mapping, we find that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{d\xi_i}{d\zeta_i}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{3\sin\zeta_i }{\cos^4\zeta_i}\biggl[ \zeta_i + \frac{1}{2} \sin(2\zeta_i) \biggr] + \frac{1}{\cos^3\zeta_i} \biggl[1 + \cos(2\zeta_i) \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{3\sin\zeta_i }{\cos^4\zeta_i}\biggl[ \zeta_i + \sin\zeta_i \cos\zeta_i \biggr] + \frac{2}{\cos\zeta_i} \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Hence, the left-hand side of the rewritten ODE becomes, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> LHS </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \cos^2 \zeta_i \biggl[\cos\zeta_i \biggr]^{-1} \biggl\{ \frac{2}{\cos\zeta_i} +\frac{3\sin\zeta_i }{\cos^4\zeta_i}\biggl[ \zeta_i + \sin\zeta_i \cos\zeta_i \biggr] \biggr\} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ 2 +\frac{3\sin\zeta_i }{\cos^3\zeta_i}\biggl[ \zeta_i + \sin\zeta_i \cos\zeta_i \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> It is easy to see that, after adopting the prescribed parameter mapping, the right-hand side of this ODE presents exactly the same expression. We conclude, therefore, that the pair of functions, <math>~f</math> and <math>~\xi_i</math>, introduced by [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017ApJ...835...40C Coughlin (2017)] may be straightforwardly expressed in terms of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1982FCPh....8....1T Tohline's (1982)] parameter, <math>~\zeta_i</math>, as follows: <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center"><tr><td align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~f</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\sin\zeta_i </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\xi_i</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl[ \zeta_i + \frac{1}{2} \sin(2\zeta_i) \biggr] \biggl[ \frac{1}{\cos^3\zeta_i}\biggr] </math> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table> </div>
