We can rewrite the [[#GoverningIntegral|Variational Principle's Governing Integral Relation]] as,

==Logarithmic Derivatives==

Returning to our above discussion of the [[#Ledoux_.26_Walraven_Approach|Ledoux &amp; Walraven approach]], we appreciate that the ''differential'' relation governing the Variational Principle is,

==Pressure-Truncated Polytropes==

Let's start with the integral expression derived in our discussion of the  [[#Ledoux_.26_Walraven_Approach|Ledoux &amp; Walraven approach]]; insert the variable, <math>~x</math>, in place of <math>~\xi</math>; and adopt the boundary conditions,
<div align="center">
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center">

  <td align="right">

That is, let's start with,

====Plug in Known Marginally Unstable Solution====

As has been summarized in an [[SSC/Stability/InstabilityOnsetOverview#Marginally_Unstable_Pressure-Truncated_Gas_Clouds|accompanying discussion]], we have found that, for marginally unstable pressure-truncated polytropic configurations, the eigenvector associated with the fundamental mode of radial oscillation is prescribed analytically by the following eigenfrequency-eigenfunction pair:
