==Interface Conditions== Here, we will simply copy the discussion already provided in the context of our attempt to analyze the stability of <math>~(n_c, n_e) = (0, 0)</math> bipolytropes; specifically, we will draw from [[SSC/Stability/BiPolytrope00#Piecing_Together|<font color="red">'''STEP 4:'''</font> in the ''Piecing Together'' subsection]]. Following the discussion in §§57 & 58 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1958HDP....51..353L P. Ledoux & Th. Walraven (1958)], the proper treatment is to ensure that fractional perturbation in the gas pressure (see their equation 57.31), <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{\delta P}{P}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~- \gamma x \biggl( 3 + \frac{d\ln x}{d\ln \xi} \biggr) \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> is continuous across the interface. That is to say, at the interface <math>~(\xi = \xi_i)</math>, we need to enforce the relation, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~0</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl[ \gamma_c x_\mathrm{core} \biggl( 3 + \frac{d\ln x_\mathrm{core}}{d\ln \xi} \biggr) - \gamma_e x_\mathrm{env} \biggl( 3 + \frac{d\ln x_\mathrm{env}}{d\ln \xi} \biggr)\biggr]_{\xi=\xi_i}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\gamma_e \biggl[ \frac{\gamma_c}{\gamma_e} \biggl( 3 + \frac{d\ln x_\mathrm{core}}{d\ln \xi} \biggr) - \biggl( 3 + \frac{d\ln x_\mathrm{env}}{d\ln \xi} \biggr)\biggr]_{\xi=\xi_i}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Rightarrow~~~ \frac{d\ln x_\mathrm{env}}{d\ln \xi} \biggr|_{\xi=\xi_i}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~3\biggl(\frac{\gamma_c}{\gamma_e} -1\biggr) + \frac{\gamma_c}{\gamma_e} \biggl( \frac{d\ln x_\mathrm{core}}{d\ln \xi} \biggr)_{\xi=\xi_i} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> In the context of this interface-matching constraint (see their equation 62.1), [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1958HDP....51..353L P. Ledoux & Th. Walraven (1958)] state the following: <font color="darkgreen"><b>In the static</b></font> (''i.e.,'' unperturbed equilibrium) <font color="darkgreen"><b>model</b></font> … <font color="darkgreen"><b>discontinuities in <math>~\rho</math> or in <math>~\gamma</math> might occur at some [radius]</b></font>. <font color="darkgreen"><b>In the first case</b></font> — that is, a discontinuity only in density, while <math>~\gamma_e = \gamma_c</math> — the interface conditions <font color="darkgreen"><b>imply the continuity of <math>~\tfrac{1}{x} \cdot \tfrac{dx}{d\xi}</math> at that [radius]. In the second case</b></font> — that is, a discontinuity in the adiabatic exponent — <font color="darkgreen"><b>the dynamical condition may be written</b></font> as above. <font color="darkgreen"><b>This implies a discontinuity of the first derivative at any discontinuity of <math>~\gamma</math></b></font>. The algorithm that [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985PASAu...6..222M Murphy & Fiedler (1985b)] used to "<font color="#007700">… [integrate] through each zone …</font>" was designed "<font color="#007700">… with continuity in <math>~x</math> and <math>~dx/d\xi</math> being imposed at the interface …</font>" Given that they set <math>~\gamma_c = \gamma_e = 5/3</math>, their interface matching condition is consistent with the one prescribed by [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1958HDP....51..353L P. Ledoux & Th. Walraven (1958)].
