====Kojima's Setup==== Presumably PP85 rewrote the equation in the latest form presented above in order to help make it clear how the equation simplifies (specifically, the last term on the right-hand side vanishes) for configurations that initially have uniform specific angular momentum — that is, for configurations in which <math>~h^' = 0</math>. But other simplifications arise as well because the epicyclic frequency, <math>~\kappa</math>, also goes to zero in configurations with uniform specific angular momentum. This means that the frequency ratio, <math>~{\bar\sigma}^2/D</math>, that appears in two terms of our derived expression goes to unity, that is, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{{\bar\sigma}^2}{D}\biggr|_{j_0-\mathrm{constant}} = \biggl[ \frac{{\bar\sigma}^2}{{\bar\sigma}^2 - \kappa^2}\biggr]_{j_0-\mathrm{constant}}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~~\rightarrow~~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~1 \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Implementing both of these simplifications, the latest form of our "eigenvalue problem" equation becomes, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~ \frac{ {\bar\sigma}^2 \rho_0^2 W^'}{\gamma P_0 } </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~- \frac{1}{\varpi} \frac{\partial}{\partial\varpi} \biggl[ \cancelto{1}{\biggl(\frac{{\bar\sigma}^2}{D} \biggr)} \rho_0 \varpi \cdot \frac{\partial W^'}{\partial \varpi} \biggr] + \cancelto{1}{\biggl(\frac{{\bar\sigma}^2}{D} \biggr)} \frac{\rho_0 m^2 W^' }{\varpi^2} - \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \biggl(\rho_0 \frac{\partial W^'}{\partial z} \biggr) - \frac{m W^' \bar\sigma}{\varpi} \frac{\partial}{\partial\varpi} \biggl[ \frac{\rho_0}{\varpi D} \cancelto{0}{\biggl( \frac{dj_0 }{d\varpi } \biggr)} \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Rightarrow~~~~0 </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{1}{\varpi} \frac{\partial}{\partial\varpi} \biggl[ \rho_0 \varpi \cdot \frac{\partial W^'}{\partial \varpi} \biggr] + \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \biggl(\rho_0 \frac{\partial W^'}{\partial z} \biggr) - \frac{\rho_0 m^2 W^' }{\varpi^2} + \frac{ {\bar\sigma}^2 \rho_0^2 W^'}{\gamma P_0 } \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> As can be confirmed by comparing it to equation (12) of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1986PThPh..75..251K Kojima (1986)] — which, to facilitate comparison, has been extracted and displayed in the following framed image — this expression matches the 2<sup>nd</sup>-order, two-dimensional PDE that defines the eigenvalue problem discussed by Kojima. <div align="center" id="EigenvalueKojima86"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" width="80%"> <tr><td align="center" bgcolor="orange"> Equations (12) & (13) extracted without modification from p. 254 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1986PThPh..75..251K Kojima (1986)]<p></p> "''The Dynamical Stability of a Fat Disk with Constant Specific Angular Momentum''"<p></p> Progress of Theoretical Physics, vol. 75, pp. 251-261 © The Physical Society of Japan </td></tr> <tr> <td align="center"> [[File:Kojima86Eq12.png|500px|center|Kojima (1986, Progress of Theoretical Physics, 75, 251)]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center|Whitworth (1981) Eq. 5]] --> </td> </tr> </table> </div> This expression also serves as the starting point for the stability analysis presented by [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.216..553B Blaes (1985)] — see his equation (3.1), but note that he has replaced the adiabatic exponent with the polytropic index via the relation, <math>~\gamma = (n+1)/n</math>.
