The domain of the problem is reduced to a quarter annulus with z ranging over the
interval (0,1). Scaling the radius by the radius b of the core-mantle boundary, the
dimensionless radius r
=
r 0 / b ranges over the interval ( a / b ,1). We can then divide
expression (8.30) by
b and work with the reduced functional
