Radiative-envelope convection matching

ID: radiative-envelope-convection-matching

For with and , the logarithmic radiative temperature gradient is . At a marginal boundary with an efficient ideal-gas convective envelope, the Schwarzschild criterion equates it to . Hence . The notation with real positive requires a nonnegative bracket. Vanishing or needs the corresponding logarithmic integration instead of this power form.
