Current proportional to 1/V^2. Discrete PFC controller

Being silly I'm trying to implement the control circuitry for a PFC
stage more or less discretely. I can do a gm multiplier, see in ABSE,
and that does the job with one limitation.

VVEA programs the average current through MULTOUT which drives 4
parallel operated power stages for a power factor corrector. The
multiplier makes this program current proportional to VLINE so that the
load appears resistive.

Ideally the current in the lower mirror, Q3/Q4, should be inversly
proportional to the average of the squared rectified line voltage to
maintain a constant power throughput.

Is there a simple way of achieving this or a similar effect elsewhere in
the circuit.

I'm thick

Ask more questions if it needs clarification.


Thanks

Got bored with it. The question probably has no viable answer, at least
not at the level of simplicity I'm looking for.

Implemented a VFF comparator and modified the multiplier a bit.

Results in ABSE.

Thanks
