function {1-f_cylindrical(x,y,z)*f_cylindrical(x,y,z)}
is exactly the same as
function {1-pow(f_cylindrical(x,y,z),2)}

The advantage of the second is that f_cylindrical need to be evaluated 
only once, making the evaluation of the whole function faster.

An exponential curve could be something like :
function {1- exp(f_cylindrical(x,y,z))}
