===Third Guess (n1)=== Let's rewrite the polytropic (n = 1) wave equation as follows: <div align="center"> <math> ~\sin\xi \biggl[ \xi^2 x^{''} + 2\xi x^' - 2\alpha x \biggr] + \cos\xi \biggl[ 2\xi^2 x^' + 2\alpha \xi x \biggr] +\sigma^2 \xi^3 x = 0 \, . </math> </div> It is difficult to determine what term in the adiabatic wave equation will cancel the term involving <math>~\sigma^2</math> because its leading coefficient is <math>~\xi^3</math> and no other term contains a power of <math>~\xi</math> that is higher than two. After thinking through various trial eigenvector expressions, <math>~x(\xi)</math>, I have determined that a function of the following form has a ''chance'' of working because the second derivative of the function generates a leading factor of <math>~\xi^3</math> while the function itself does not introduce any additional factors of <math>~\xi</math> into the term that contains <math>~\sigma^2</math>: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~x</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~[a\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) + b\sin(\xi^{5/2})\cos(\xi^{5/2}) + c\cos^2(\xi^{5/2})] [ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Rightarrow ~~~ x^'</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~[a\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) + b\sin(\xi^{5/2})\cos(\xi^{5/2}) + c\cos^2(\xi^{5/2})] \cdot \frac{d[ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi]}{d\xi} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~+ \frac{d[a\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) + b\sin(\xi^{5/2})\cos(\xi^{5/2}) + c\cos^2(\xi^{5/2})]}{d\xi} \cdot [ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~[a\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) + b\sin(\xi^{5/2})\cos(\xi^{5/2}) + c\cos^2(\xi^{5/2})] \cdot \frac{d[ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi]}{d\xi} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~+ [ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi] \biggl\{5a \xi^{3/2} \sin(\xi^{5/2}) \cos(\xi^{5/2}) + b\biggl[ \frac{5}{2} \xi^{3/2}\cos^2(\xi^{5/2}) - \frac{5}{2} \xi^{3/2}\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) \biggr] - 5c \xi^{3/2} \sin(\xi^{5/2}) \cos(\xi^{5/2}) \biggr\} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~[a\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) + b\sin(\xi^{5/2})\cos(\xi^{5/2}) + c\cos^2(\xi^{5/2})] \cdot \frac{d[ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi]}{d\xi} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~+ [ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi] \biggl\{5(a-c) \xi^{3/2} \sin(\xi^{5/2}) \cos(\xi^{5/2}) + \frac{5b}{2} \xi^{3/2}\biggl[ 1 - 2\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) \biggr] \biggr\} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Rightarrow ~~~ x^{''}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~[a\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) + b\sin(\xi^{5/2})\cos(\xi^{5/2}) + c\cos^2(\xi^{5/2})] \cdot \frac{d^2[ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi]}{d^2\xi} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~+ \biggl\{5(a-c) \xi^{3/2} \sin(\xi^{5/2}) \cos(\xi^{5/2}) + \frac{5b}{2} \xi^{3/2}\biggl[ 1 - 2\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) \biggr] \biggr\} \cdot \frac{d[ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi]}{d\xi} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~+ [ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi] \biggl\{ \frac{15}{2}(a-c) \xi^{1/2} \sin(\xi^{5/2}) \cos(\xi^{5/2}) +\frac{25}{2}(a-c) \xi^{3} \cos^2(\xi^{5/2}) - \frac{25}{2}(a-c) \xi^{3} \sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math> + \frac{15b}{4} \xi^{1/2}\biggl[ 1 - 2\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) \biggr] - 25b \xi^{3}\sin(\xi^{5/2}) \cos(\xi^{5/2}) \biggr\} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~[a\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) + b\sin(\xi^{5/2})\cos(\xi^{5/2}) + c\cos^2(\xi^{5/2})] \cdot \frac{d^2[ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi]}{d^2\xi} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~+ \biggl\{5(a-c) \xi^{3/2} \sin(\xi^{5/2}) \cos(\xi^{5/2}) + \frac{5b}{2} \xi^{3/2}\biggl[ 1 - 2\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) \biggr] \biggr\} \cdot \frac{d[ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi]}{d\xi} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~+ [ A\sin\xi + B\cos\xi] \biggl\{ \frac{15}{4}\xi^{1/2} \biggl[ 2(a-c) \sin(\xi^{5/2}) \cos(\xi^{5/2}) + b\biggl( 1 - 2\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) \biggr) \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~+ \frac{25}{2} \xi^3 \biggl[ - 2b \sin(\xi^{5/2}) \cos(\xi^{5/2}) +(a-c) \biggl( 1- 2\sin^2(\xi^{5/2}) \biggr) \biggr] \biggr\} </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> [<font color="red">Comment from J.

Tohline on 15 April 2015:</font> It is perhaps worth mentioning that there is a similarity between the argument of the trigonometric function being used in this "third guess" and the [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#Srivastava.27s_F-Type_Solution|Lane-Emden function derived by Srivastava for <math>~n=5</math> polytropes]]; and also a similarity between Srivastava's function and the functional form of the LHS that we constructed, [[SSC/Stability/Polytropes#Second_Guess|above, in connection with our "second guess]]."]
