 Considering such instant change of epochs, the transition periods are ignored as small in comparison to the epoch length; this condition is actually fulfilled.Replacement of α, β, and γ maxima with zeros requires that quantities ln (|"p"1|Λ) be small in comparison with the amplitudes of oscillations of the respective functions.As mentioned [[#Oscillating mode towards the singularity|above]], during transitions between eras |"p"1| values can become very small while their magnitude and probability for occurrence are not related to the oscillation amplitudes in the respective moment.
