===Ledoux & Pekeris Approach=== Here we follow the lead of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1941ApJ....94..124L Ledoux & Pekeris (1941)]. Returning to the integral expression just derived in our discussion of the ''Ledoux & Walraven approach'', and multiplying through by <math>~4\pi</math>, we have, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\int_0^R 4\pi \sigma^2 \rho r^4 \xi^2 dr</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \int_0^R 4\pi r^4 \Gamma_1 P \biggl(\frac{d\xi}{dr}\biggr)^2 dr - \int_0^R (3\Gamma_1 - 4) 4\pi r^3 \xi^2 \biggl( \frac{dP}{dr} \biggr) dr - \biggr[4\pi r^3 \Gamma_1 P\xi^2 \biggl(\frac{d\ln \xi}{d\ln r}\biggr) \biggr]_0^R \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> If we acknowledge that: * at the center of the configuration, <math>~r^3 = 0</math>; * [[#SurfaceBC|as above]], the boundary condition at the surface is <math>~P = P_e</math> while <math>~(d\ln \xi/d\ln r) = -3</math>; * the differential mass element is, <math>~dm = 4\pi r^2 \rho dr</math> and the corresponding differential volume element is, <math>~dV = 4\pi r^2 dr</math>; and * a statement of detailed force balance is, <math>~dP/dr = - Gm\rho/r^2</math>, this integral relation becomes, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~ \sigma^2 \int_0^R r^2 \xi^2 dm</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \Gamma_1 \int_0^R \biggl[ r \biggl(\frac{d\xi}{dr}\biggr)\biggr]^2 P dV + (3\Gamma_1 - 4) \int_0^R \xi^2 \biggl( \frac{Gm}{r} \biggr) dm - \biggr[\Gamma_1 \xi_\mathrm{surface}^2 (3P_e V) \biggl(-3\biggr) \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Now, as we have [[SSCpt1/Virial#Wgrav|discussed separately]] — see, also, p. 64, Equation (12) of [<b>[[Appendix/References#C67|<font color="red">C67</font>]]</b>] — the gravitational potential energy of the unperturbed configuration is given by the integral, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~W_\mathrm{grav}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ - \int_0^{M} \biggl( \frac{Gm}{r_0} \biggr) dm \, ;</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> for adiabatic systems, the [[SSCpt1/Virial#Reservoir|internal energy]] is, <div align="center"> <math> U_\mathrm{int} = \frac{1}{(\Gamma_1-1)} \int_0^R P_0 dV \, ;</math> </div> and — see the text at the top of p. 126 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1941ApJ....94..124L Ledoux & Pekeris (1941)] — the moment of inertia of the configuration about its center is, <div align="center"> <math> I = \int_0^M r_0^2 dm \, .</math> </div> (Note that, defined in this way, <math>~I</math> is the same as [[VE#Standard_Presentation_.5Bthe_Virial_of_Clausius_.281870.29.5D|what we have referred to elsewhere]] as the ''scalar moment of inertia'', which is obtained by taking the trace of the [[VE#MOItensor|moment of inertia tensor]], <math>~I_{ij}</math>.) <span id="GoverningIntegral">After inserting these expressions, we have what will henceforth be referred to as the,</span> <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"><font color="maroon"><b>Variational Principle's Governing Integral Relation</b></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~ \sigma^2 \int_0^R \xi^2 dI</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \Gamma_1 (\Gamma_1 - 1) \int_0^R \xi^2 \biggl[ \frac{d\ln\xi}{d\ln r}\biggr]^2 dU_\mathrm{int} - (3\Gamma_1 - 4) \int_0^R \xi^2 dW_\mathrm{grav} + 3^2 \Gamma_1 P_e V \xi_\mathrm{surface}^2 \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
