51. Obviously, the scattering width in 33 admits a trivial (zero-valued) global minimum for α=γ=p=0 [for which the virtual-domain medium in 1 reduces to vacuum], which is, however, incompatible with the assumed constraints.
52. Note that, in view of the different expressions, identical truncation parameters Δ/ R1 in 12 35 would yield different variation ranges of the constitutive parameters. In order to guarantee a meaningful comparison, the value of Δ/ R1 reported in the graphs is referred to 35, and the one pertaining to 12 is adjusted accordingly so as to yield comparable (within a ±10% window) variation ranges of the permittivities.
