25. For F″ (mmax) ≤-2 this result evidently breaks down. In the representative examples in Sec. we have | F″ (mmax) | <0.1. One can find examples where | F″ | approaches 2, yet this occurs only close to c3, the upper edge of the metastable region, where the Kramers-type approach becomes inappropriate. Technically, the divergence can anyway be avoided by reducing the value of the parameter Δ in Eq..
