The maximum possible relative pendelluft varies with the ratio of the effective compliances of the 2 daughter pathways. A bifurcation with matched stiffness (κ = 1) gives the lower limit, whereas the upper limit is reached when the path with lower resistance (always subscript 1) has a higher stiffness.
