Other attempts by specifically introducing nonlinear terms into the postulated critical-point differential equation for the correlation function have been analyzed by D. J. Klinger, M. E. Fisher, and S. Fishman, J. Chem. Phys. 80, 3392 (1984), and shown to be unacceptable when η≠0 since the hyperscaling relation 2- η=d(δ-1)/(δ+1) (valid for d ≤ 4) is violated. It is, of course, such difficulties that motivate the Fisher-Upton theory expounded in Sec. III.
