In an accompanying discussion, we derived the so-called,
whose solution gives eigenfunctions that describe various radial modes of oscillation in spherically symmetric, self-gravitating fluid configurations. Assuming that the underlying equilibrium structure is that of a bipolytrope having , it makes sense to adopt the normalizations used when defining the equilibrium structure, namely,

We note as well that,

Hence, multiplying the LAWE through by gives,
