29. In deriving this expression we have neglected the coefficient in front of the time derivative. This choice does not invalidate the main results of this paragraph, i.e., that there is only one asymptotic solution, that this is stationary and given by Eqs. (41) and (42). On the other hand, it makes the notation much lighter and, hopefully, the line of reasoning clearer.
