=Our Initial Explorations= ==Review by Ledoux and Walraven (1958)== Here we are especially interested in understanding the origin of equation (59.10) of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1958HDP....51..353L P. Ledoux & Th. Walraven (1958)], which appears in §59 (pp. 464 - 466) of their ''Handbuch der Physik'' article. From our [[SSC/Perturbations#Summary_Set_of_Nonlinear_Governing_Relations|accompanying summary of the set of nonlinear governing relations]], we highlight the <div align="center"> <span id="PGE:Euler"><font color="#770000">'''Euler + Poisson Equations'''</font></span><br /> <math>\frac{d^2 r}{dt^2} = - 4\pi r^2 \frac{dP}{dm} - \frac{Gm}{r^2} </math><br /> </div> Repeating a result from our [[SSC/Perturbations#Euler_.2B_Poisson_Equations|separate derivation]], linearization of the two terms on the righthand side of this equation gives, <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> r^2 \frac{dP}{dm} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math> \rightarrow </math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> r_0^2 \biggl[1 + x~ e^{i\omega t} \biggr]^2 \biggl\{\frac{dP_0}{dm} \biggl[1 + p~ e^{i\omega t} \biggr] + P_0~e^{i\omega t} \frac{dp}{dm} \biggr\} \approx r_0^2 \frac{dP_0}{dm} \biggl[1 + (2x+p)~ e^{i\omega t} \biggr] + P_0 r_0^2~e^{i\omega t} \frac{dp}{dm} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \frac{Gm}{r^2} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math> \rightarrow </math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{Gm}{ r_0^2} \biggl[1 + x~ e^{i\omega t} \biggr]^{-2} \approx \frac{Gm}{ r_0^2} \biggl[1 -2 x~ e^{i\omega t} \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> Adopting the terminology of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1958HDP....51..353L Ledoux & Walraven (1958)], the "variation" of each of these terms is obtained by subtracting off the leading order pieces — which presumably cancel in equilibrium.

Chandrasekhar (1964, ApJ, 139, 664)] independently derived the Ledoux-Pekeris Lagrangian. ===The Lagrangian Expression using Chandrasekhar's Notation=== First, let's show that the Lagrangian expression derived by Chandrasekhar is, indeed, equivalent to the one presented by Ledoux & Pekeris. Returning to the second line of our effort to simplify the [[#LDefinition|above definition of the Lagrangian]], and making the substitution, <math>~\psi \equiv r_0^3 x</math>, we have, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~2L </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ 4\pi e^{2i\omega t} \int_0^R \biggl\{ \rho_0 \biggl( \frac{i \omega \psi}{r_0^2} \biggr)^2 + \biggl( \frac{4Gm}{r_0^3}\biggr) \rho_0 \biggl( \frac{\psi}{r_0^2} \biggr)^2 - \gamma_\mathrm{g} P_0 \biggl[ \frac{1}{r_0^2} \frac{\partial(\psi)}{\partial r_0} \biggr]^2 \biggr\}r_0^2 dr_0 </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ 4\pi e^{2i\omega t} \int_0^R \biggl\{ -\omega^2 \rho_0 \biggl( \frac{\psi}{r_0} \biggr)^2 - 4\biggl( \frac{dP_0}{dr_0}\biggr) \biggl( \frac{\psi^2}{r_0^3} \biggr) - \gamma_\mathrm{g} P_0 \biggl[ \frac{1}{r_0} \frac{\partial(\psi)}{\partial r_0} \biggr]^2 \biggr\}dr_0 </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~- 4\pi e^{2i\omega t} \int_0^R \biggl\{ \omega^2 \rho_0 \psi^2 + 4\biggl( \frac{dP_0}{dr_0}\biggr) \biggl( \frac{\psi^2}{r_0} \biggr) + \gamma_\mathrm{g} P_0 \biggl[ \frac{\partial\psi}{\partial r_0} \biggr]^2 \biggr\} \frac{dr_0}{r_0^2} . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> This integral expression matches the integral expression that appears in equation (49) of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1964ApJ...139..664C Chandrasekhar (1964)], if we accept that our squared frequency, <math>~\omega^2</math>, has the opposite sign to Chandrasekhar's <math>~\sigma^2</math>. Chandrasekhar acknowledged that, for radial modes of oscillation, his result was the same as that derived earlier by Ledoux and his collaborators. ===Chandrasekhar's Independent Derivation=== Now, let's follow Chandrasekhar's lead and derive the Lagrangian directly from the governing LAWE. We begin with a version of the LAWE that [[#RewrittenLAWE|appears above]] in our review of the paper by [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1941ApJ....94..124L Ledoux & Pekeris (1941)], namely, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~0</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{d}{dr}\biggl[ r^4 \Gamma_1 P ~\frac{d\xi}{dr} \biggr] +\biggl[ \sigma^2 \rho r^4 + (3\Gamma_1 - 4) r^3 \frac{dP}{dr} \biggr] \xi \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> We will develop the Lagrangian expression by following the guidance provided at the top of p. 666 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1964ApJ...139..664C S. Chandrasekhar (1964, ApJ, 139, 664)]. First, we multiply the LAWE through by the fractional displacement, <math>~\xi</math>; second, we make the substitution, <math>~\xi \rightarrow \psi/r^3</math>, in order to shift to Chandrasekhar's variable notation; then we multiply through by <math>~dr</math> and integrate from the center <math>~(r = 0)</math> to the surface <math>~(r = R)</math> of the configuration.
