13. i) with V(cursive Greek chi) = cursive Greek chi for cursive Greek chi ∈ [0, 1] and V(cursive Greek chi) = 1 for cursive Greek chi ∈ [1, 2]. This is to avoid that the unfolding transition depends on time step dt. Further, one has to introduce lower and upper thresholds for identifying the states, thus the number of parameters grows considerably.
