Beyond the outer classical turning point, let and . The bound state condition removes the growing branch at positive infinity, leaving
Here is an arbitrary common amplitude pending the matching and wavefunction normalization. For the confining potential energy in the native diagram, the decaying branch gives the required exterior square-integrable function.
