==Setup== | |||
From our derived [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#n_.3D_1_Polytrope|structure of an n = 1 polytrope]], in terms of the configuration's radius <math>R</math> and mass <math>M</math>, the central pressure and density are, respectively, | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math>P_c = \frac{\pi G}{8}\biggl( \frac{M^2}{R^4} \biggr) </math> , | |||
</div> | |||
and | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math>\rho_c = \frac{\pi M}{4 R^3} </math> . | |||
</div> | |||
Hence the characteristic time and acceleration are, respectively, | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math> | |||
\tau_\mathrm{SSC} = \biggl[ \frac{R^2 \rho_c}{P_c} \biggr]^{1/2} = | |||
\biggl[ \frac{2R^3 }{GM} \biggr]^{1/2} = | |||
\biggl[ \frac{\pi}{2 G\rho_c} \biggr]^{1/2}, | |||
</math><br /> | |||
</div> | |||
and, | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math> | |||
g_\mathrm{SSC} = \frac{P_c}{R \rho_c} = \biggl( \frac{GM}{2R^2} \biggr) . | |||
</math><br /> | |||
</div> | |||
The required functions are, | |||
* <font color="red">Density</font>: | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math>\frac{\rho_0(\chi_0)}{\rho_c} = \frac{\sin(\pi\chi_0)}{\pi\chi_0} </math> ; | |||
</div> | |||
* <font color="red">Pressure</font>: | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math>\frac{P_0(\chi_0)}{P_c} = \biggl[ \frac{\sin(\pi\chi_0)}{\pi\chi_0} \biggr]^2 </math> ; | |||
</div> | |||
* <font color="red">Gravitational acceleration</font>: | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math> | |||
\frac{g_0(r_0)}{g_\mathrm{SSC}} = \frac{2}{\chi_0^2} \biggl[ \frac{M_r(\chi_0)}{M}\biggr] = | |||
\frac{2}{\pi \chi_0^2} \biggl[ \sin (\pi\chi_0 ) - \pi\chi_0 \cos (\pi\chi_0 ) \biggr]. | |||
</math><br /> | |||
</div> | |||
So our desired Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors will be solutions to the following ODE: | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math> | |||
\frac{d^2x}{d\chi_0^2} + \frac{2}{\chi_0} \biggl[ 1 + \pi\chi_0 \cot (\pi\chi_0 ) \biggr] \frac{dx}{d\chi_0} + \frac{1}{\gamma_\mathrm{g}} \biggl\{ \frac{\pi \chi_0}{\sin(\pi\chi_0)} \biggl[ \frac{\pi \omega^2}{2G\rho_c} \biggr] + \frac{2}{\chi_0^2 } (4 - 3\gamma_\mathrm{g}) \biggl[ 1 - \pi\chi_0 \cot (\pi\chi_0 ) \biggr] \biggr\} x = 0 , | |||
</math><br /> | |||
</div> | |||
<br /> | |||
or, replacing <math>\chi_0</math> with <math>\xi \equiv \pi\chi_0</math> and dividing the entire expression by <math>\pi^2</math>, we have, | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math> | |||
\frac{d^2x}{d\xi^2} + \frac{2}{\xi} \biggl[ 1 + \xi \cot \xi \biggr] \frac{dx}{d\xi} + \frac{1}{\gamma_\mathrm{g}} \biggl\{ \frac{\xi}{\sin \xi} \biggl[ \frac{\omega^2}{2\pi G\rho_c} \biggr] + \frac{2}{\xi^2 } (4 - 3\gamma_\mathrm{g}) \biggl[ 1 - \xi \cot \xi \biggr] \biggr\} x = 0 . | |||
</math><br /> | |||

This is identical to the formulation of the wave equation that is relevant to the (n = 1) core of the composite polytrope studied by [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985PASAu...6..222M J. O. Murphy & R. Fiedler (1985b)]; for comparison, their expression is displayed, here, in the following boxed-in image. | |||

It would seem that the eigenfunction, <math>~x(\xi)</math>, should be expressible in terms of trigonometric functions and powers of <math>~\xi</math>; indeed, it appears as though the expression governing this eigenfunction would simplify considerably if <math>~x \propto \sin\xi/\xi</math>. With this in mind, we have made some attempts to ''guess'' the exact form of the eigenfunction. Here is one such attempt. | |||
===First Guess (n1)=== | |||
Let's try, | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<math>~x = \frac{\sin\xi}{\xi} \, ,</math> | |||
</div> | |||
which means, | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<table border="0" cellpadding="5"> | |||
<tr> | |||
<td align="right"> | |||
<math>~x^' \equiv \frac{dx}{d\xi}</math> | |||

<math>~=</math> | |||

\, . | |||
</math> | |||
</td> | |||
</tr> | |||
</table> | |||
</div> | |||
Does this satisfy the governing expression? Let's see. The right-and-side (RHS) gives: | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<table border="0" cellpadding="5"> | |||

<td align="right"> | |||

</math> | |||
</td> | |||
</tr> | |||
</table> | |||
</div> | |||
At the same time, the left-hand-side (LHS) may, quite generically, be written as: | |||
<div align="center"> | |||
<table border="0" cellpadding="5"> | |||

===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>: | |||

Radial Oscillations of n = 1 Polytropic Spheres
Groundwork
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. Because this widely used form of the radial pulsation equation is not dimensionless but, rather, has units of inverse length-squared, we have found it useful to also recast it in the following dimensionless form:
where,
and
In a separate discussion, we showed that specifically for isolated, polytropic configurations, this linear adiabatic wave equation (LAWE) can be rewritten as,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where we have adopted the dimensionless frequency notation,
|
|
|
|
Here we focus on an analysis of the specific case of isolated, polytropic configurations, whose unperturbed equilibrium structure can be prescribed in terms of analytic functions. Our hope — as yet unfulfilled — is that we can discover an analytically prescribed eigenvector solution to the governing LAWE.
Search for Analytic Solutions to the LAWE
Setup
From our derived structure of an n = 1 polytrope, in terms of the configuration's radius and mass , the central pressure and density are, respectively,
,
and
.
Hence the characteristic time and acceleration are, respectively,
and,
The required functions are,
- Density:
;
- Pressure:
;
- Gravitational acceleration:
So our desired Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors will be solutions to the following ODE:
or, replacing with and dividing the entire expression by , we have,
This is identical to the formulation of the wave equation that is relevant to the (n = 1) core of the composite polytrope studied by J. O. Murphy & R. Fiedler (1985b); for comparison, their expression is displayed, here, in the following boxed-in image.

Attempt at Deriving an Analytic Eigenvector Solution
Multiplying the last expression through by gives,
where,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first two terms can be folded together to give,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where, in order to make this next-to-last step, we have recognized that,
|
|
|
|
It would seem that the eigenfunction, , should be expressible in terms of trigonometric functions and powers of ; indeed, it appears as though the expression governing this eigenfunction would simplify considerably if . With this in mind, we have made some attempts to guess the exact form of the eigenfunction. Here is one such attempt.
First Guess (n1)
Let's try,
which means,
|
|
|
|
Does this satisfy the governing expression? Let's see. The right-and-side (RHS) gives:
|
RHS |
|
|
At the same time, the left-hand-side (LHS) may, quite generically, be written as:
|
LHS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Putting the two sides together therefore gives,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Comment from J. E. Tohline on 6 April 2015: I'm not sure what else to make of this.]
Second Guess (n1)
Adopting the generic rewriting of the LHS, and leaving the RHS fully generic as well, we have,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Comment from J. E. Tohline on 6 April 2015: I'm not sure what else to make of this.]
Third Guess (n1)
Let's rewrite the polytropic (n = 1) wave equation as follows:
It is difficult to determine what term in the adiabatic wave equation will cancel the term involving because its leading coefficient is and no other term contains a power of that is higher than two. After thinking through various trial eigenvector expressions, , 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 while the function itself does not introduce any additional factors of into the term that contains :

[Additional comment from J. E. Tohline on 15 April 2015: 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 Lane-Emden function derived by Srivastava for polytropes; and also a similarity between Srivastava's function and the functional form of the LHS that we constructed, above, in connection with our "second guess."]
Fourth Guess (n1)

Now, let's try:
which means,
