Could you elaborate on this?  Possibly by a link to the old
discussion?

While I don't want to assert that using even exponents makes sense,
I've never read a valid argument against them.  There may be one, I
simply never read it.

In particular, the assumption that the underlying physics yield an
odd function is a) not justified to me so far and b) does not mean
that approximating its positive branch may not contain even
components.

Again: It may be true that a and c are superfluous or even harmful.
But I'm looking for proof of that.

FWIW, I once patched the Pano library to use the exponents 3, 5, and
7 for a, b, c.  It did not help for the (albeit single) pano that I
used for testing.  This is not a proof, it was only discouragement
for me to follow this path further.

Tschö,
Torsten.
