3In the expression for calculating Δpi, i - iref may be replaced by (i- iref) Δi, where Δi is a free parameter for controlling the sharpness of the transition between the two domains in momentum space. However, Δi = 1 provides the adequate number of point, of the order of 5, in order to avoid both a large jump, or a too smooth transition that may lead to violation of the condition that δ < 1 for small i values.
