29. As a result of a slight variation in the topology of η(r) relative to that of ρ(r), nine RCPs are located instead of the five found for ρ(r). The four RCPs corresponding to point 4 (Figure 1) are replaced by four pairs of RCPs. The remaining CPs required to fulfill the Poincaré-Hopf condition were not established.
