description

We take a modified boundary condition at the dead end of a stub to simulate transmission zeroes being replaced by minima and then the discontinuous phase slip (or decrease) at the transmission zeroes are replaced by a continuous but rapid phase slip. The modified boundary condition can be continuously tuned to give the results of the stub with hard wall boundary condition at the dead end of stub. Even when the phase slip is continuous one can obtain information about the density of states in the stub region from the scattering phases.
