Detailed Description

The factors \(\alpha^i\) multiplying the radial and angular derivatives in the principal part of the equations.

These are the factors \(\alpha^i\) that define the principal part of the equations and allow writing them in first-order flux form given by

\begin{equation}-\partial_i F^i + \beta \Psi_m + \gamma_i \partial_i \Psi_m = S_m \end{equation}

with the flux

\begin{equation}F^i = \alpha^i \partial_i \Psi_m \text{.} \end{equation}

They are set by the analytic data class (see ScalarSelfForce::AnalyticData::CircularOrbit).
