Simulated Hα LFs of the H ii regions with zero age for three parent power-law indices (β = −1.60, −2.00, and −2.40) and for the three maximum number of stars per cluster ( N _{*, max} = 330, 1,000, and 10,000). Thick solid lines in (d)–(i) represent power-law fits for the bright part ( L > 10 ^37.0 erg s ⁻¹). The values of the index (α) are given in each panel.
