Here and in the following, aQ s (Q)/, Q is a physically relevant scale, and the first five -coefficients 1 to
5 are analytically available [11, 12]. (In our conventions,
they have been collected in Appendix A of Ref. [6].)
Employing the RGE (1) for aQ , the well-known scale-

The fact that redefinitions of the -parameter only involve a single constant motivates the implicit definition
of a new coupling a

A final comparison of (13) and (14) may be performed
with the Adler function model that was put forward in
Ref. [17], and which is based on general knowledge of the

In Fig. 3, we display FO (

a nice plateau is found for C 1. Taking c5,1 = 566
and then doubling the O(

that does not show stability. Hence, this scenario again
is disfavored. In the red dots, which lie at C = 0.882

now also for c5,1 = 566 a zero of the O(
a5 ) term is found.
This time, both zeros have similar uncertainties, and employing the point with smaller error (in blue) yields

FIG. 3. FO (
aQ ) of Eq. (18) as a function of C. The yellow
band arises from either removing or doubling the fifth-order
term. In the red dots, the O(
a5 ) vanishes, and O(
a4 ) is taken
as the uncertainty. For further explanation, see the text.
