===Three Lowest-Order Expressions=== In our [[ThreeDimensionalConfigurations/HomogeneousEllipsoids#Derivation_of_Expressions_for_Ai|accompanying derivation of expressions]] for the three lowest-order index symbols <math>A_i</math>, we have used subscripts <math>(\ell, m, s)</math> instead of <math>(1, 2, 3)</math> in order to identify which associated semi-axis length is (largest, medium-length, smallest). We have derived the following expressions: <table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="8"><tr><td align="left"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\frac{A_\ell}{a_\ell a_m a_s}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{2}{a_\ell^3 ~p^2 \sin^3\alpha} \biggl[ F(\alpha, p) - E(\alpha, p) \biggr] \, ; </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\frac{A_m}{a_\ell a_m a_s} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{ 2}{a_\ell^3 } \biggl[ \frac{ E(\alpha, p) -~(1-p^2) F(\alpha, p) -~(a_s/a_m)p^2\sin\alpha}{p^2 (1-p^2)\sin^3\alpha} \biggr] \, ; </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\frac{A_s}{a_\ell a_m a_s}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{ 2}{a_\ell^3 } \biggl[\frac{ (a_m/a_s) \sin\alpha - E(\alpha, p)}{ (1-p^2) \sin^3\alpha } \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table> The corresponding expressions that appear in Howard's Mathematica notebook are: <table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="8"><tr><td align="left"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>A_1</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{2a_2 a_3}{a_1^2 m \sin^3(\phi) } \biggl[ \mathrm{EllipticF}[\phi, m] - \mathrm{EllipticE}[\phi, m] \biggr] \, ; </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>A_2</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{2a_2 a_3}{a_1^2 m(1-m) \sin^3(\phi) } \biggl[ \mathrm{EllipticE}[\phi, m] - \cos^2\theta \cdot \mathrm{EllipticF}[\phi, m] - \frac{a_3}{a_2}\cdot\sin^2\theta \sin\phi \biggr] \, ; </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>A_3</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{2a_2 a_3}{a_1^2 (1-m) \sin^3(\phi) } \biggl[ \frac{a_2}{a_3}\cdot \sin(\phi) - \mathrm{EllipticE}[\phi, m] \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table> With a little study it should be clear that our derived expressions for <math>A_i</math> precisely match Howard's Mathematica-notebook expressions when <math>\ell = 1</math>, <math>m = 2</math>, and <math>s = 3</math>, that is, in all cases for which <math>a_1 > a_2 > a_3</math>. But there will be models to consider (for example, in the uppermost region of the so-called [[ThreeDimensionalConfigurations/Stability/RiemannEllipsoids#Background|"horn-shaped" region for S-Type Riemann Ellipsoids]]) for which <math>a_1 > a_3 > a_2</math>, in which case care must be taken in assigning the proper expressions to <math>A_2</math> and <math>A_3</math>. Similarly note that most of the Riemann models of [[ThreeDimensionalConfigurations/RiemannTypeI#Riemann_Type_1_Ellipsoids|Type I]], II, and III — see, for example, Figure 16 (p. 161) in Chapter 7 of [<b>[[Appendix/References#EFE|<font color="red">EFE</font>]]</b>] — have either <math>a_2 > a_1</math> or <math>a_3 > a_1</math>.
