Note: the restriction Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle -1 < \gamma (r) \leq 1} arising from the logarithmic term Ref. 6. A critical look at the PY was undertaken by Zhou and Stell in Ref. 7.
