===Desired Pressure-Radius Relation=== It is now clear from our review, above, of [[User:Tohline/SSC/Virial/PolytropesSummary#Detailed_Force-Balanced_Solution|Horedt's detailed force-balanced solution]], that <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\frac{4\pi (5-n)}{3}\biggl[\frac{P_e R_\mathrm{eq}^4}{G M_\mathrm{limit}^2} \biggr]_\mathrm{Horedt} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\eta_\mathrm{ad} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Hence, the pair of parametric equations obtained via a solution of the detailed force-balanced equations satisfy our, slightly rearranged, <div align="center" id="ConciseVirial3"> <font color="#770000">'''Algebraic Expression of the Virial Theorem'''</font><br /> <math> \Pi_\mathrm{ad} \Chi_\mathrm{ad}^4 = \Chi_\mathrm{ad}^{(n-3)/n} - 1 \, . </math> </div> More to the point, it is now clear that this virial theorem expression provides the direct relationship between the configuration's dimensionless equilibrium radius as defined by Horedt, <math>~r_a</math>, and the dimensionless applied external pressure as defined by Horedt, <math>~p_a</math>, that was not apparent from the original pair of parametric relations.

It is somewhat unsatisfactory that this algebraic <math>~p_a - r_a</math> relationship explicitly involves <math>~\mathcal{A}</math> and <math>~\mathcal{B}</math>, two of the coefficients found in the free-energy expression. Unsatisfactory as it may be, its broad applicability can be straightforwardly demonstrated. After plugging in the expressions given above for <math>~\mathcal{A}</math> and <math>~\mathcal{B}</math> in terms of the structural form factors, to obtain, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~p_a r_a^4 </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~r_a^{(n-3)/n} \biggl[3^{(n+1)/n} \biggr] \frac{\tilde\mathfrak{f}_A}{\tilde\mathfrak{f}_M^{(n+1)/n}} -\biggl[ \frac{3(n+1)}{5} \biggr] \frac{\tilde\mathfrak{f}_W}{\tilde\mathfrak{f}_M^2} \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> one need only plug in Horedt's expressions for <math>~r_a</math> and <math>~p_a</math>, and our expressions for the three structural form factors — all given in terms of <math>~\tilde\theta</math>, <math>~\tilde\theta^'</math>, and <math>~\tilde\xi</math> — to see that the lefthand side equals the righthand side in precise detail.
