===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.
