The Keplerian viscous diffusion equation with the displayed kinematic viscosity has two such nontrivial finite-support self-similar solutions: , , and , . Both have for . Matching powers of radius eliminates the third power only when . The first solution conserves disk angular momentum; the second conserves disk mass but requires an inner torque.
