===Recognition #1=== [[User:Tohline/Appendix/Ramblings/Azimuthal_Distortions#Radial_Eigenfunction|It occurred to me, first]], that the blue curve displayed in the left-hand panel of Figure 1 might be reasonably well approximated by piecing together a pair of arc-hyperbolic-tangent (ATANH) functions. In an effort to demonstrate this, I began by specifying a "midway" radial location, <math>~r_- < r_\mathrm{mid} < r_+ \, ,</math> at which the two ATANH functions meet and at which the density fluctuation is smallest. Then I defined a function of the form, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" bgcolor="blue"> </td> <td align="right"> <math>~f_\ln(\varpi)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\tanh^{-1}\biggl[1 - 2 \biggl( \frac{\varpi - r_-}{r_\mathrm{mid}-r_-} \biggr) \biggr]</math> </td> <td align="center"> for </td> <td align="left"> <math>r_- < \varpi < r_\mathrm{mid} \, ;</math> </td> </tr> <tr><td colspan="6" align="center">and</td></tr> <tr> <td align="center" bgcolor="green"> </td> <td align="right"> <math>~f_\ln(\varpi)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\tanh^{-1}\biggl[1 - 2 \biggl( \frac{\varpi - r_+}{r_\mathrm{mid}-r_+} \biggr) \biggr]</math> </td> <td align="center"> for </td> <td align="left"> <math>r_\mathrm{mid} < \varpi < r_+ \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Recognizing that the figure depicting the [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011Ap%26SS.334....1H HI11] eigenfunction is a semi-log plot, it seems clear that the relationship between our constructed function, <math>~f_\ln(\varpi)</math>, and the eigenfunction, <math>~f_1(\varpi)</math>, is, <div align="center"> <math>~f_1(\varpi) = e^{f_\ln(\varpi)} \, .</math> </div>
