Results for the fundamental plane in the i band for the dV model using our alternatives fits. The plot in the top-left panel does not include the Malmquist bias. We did not perform a 3-σ clipping for the plot in the top-middle panel. The plot in the top-right panel excludes the redshift evolution. The results of the volume-limited sample (z < 0.0513) can be found in the central-left panel. The central-middle panel contains a plot of the default i band fit for the dV model for comparison. We are considering the surface brightness evolution instead of the redshift evolution derived form galaxy number densities in the central-right panel. In the bottom-left panel, the results are shown for an extended sample up to z = 0.3. The fundamental plane plotted using the coefficients of Bernardi et al. (2003c), but with our sample data is displayed in the bottom-middle panel. A similar plot using the coefficients of Hyde & Bernardi (2009) can be found in the bottom-right panel.
