For , put . The regular reduced radial wave function is proportional to inside the shell and to outside. It is continuous at , while its radial derivative jumps by . Dividing the jump condition by the common value gives , which implies the displayed phase shift modulo . At nodes, the undivided matching equations give the continuous limiting interpretation. For , an equivalent formula is . The exact S-wave scattering amplitude is .
