Here we construct and analyze the relative stability of a bipolytrope in which the core has an polytropic index and the envelope has an polytropic index.

Here we solve the LAWE numerically (on a uniformly zoned mesh — different for the separate core/envelope regions) using a 2nd-order accurate, implicit integration scheme in which the LAWE is broken into a pair of 1st-order ODEs. These results should be compared against a separate succinct discussion of our analysis obtained from integrating the LAWE in its standard 2nd-order ODE form.
