Logarithmic overlap creates a switchback term

ID: logarithmic-overlap-creates-a-switchback-term

If a stretched variable is and an outer expansion contains , its expression in the fixed- region is . The parameter logarithm must therefore be present in the inner expansion, often multiplying a homogeneous solution selected by a boundary condition. An ansatz containing only integer powers with parameter-independent coefficients misses this switchback term. The same reasoning applies to other powers of and other stretched-coordinate scalings.
