====Response from Jay==== Yes, I believe you've worked this term out correctly, but as you can see in what follows, it cancels out with the other cross term. Writing out each of the terms in <math>\Xi</math> gives, <div align="center"> <math> \frac{d\Xi}{dt} = \frac{{h_1}^2}{{h_2}^2} \Gamma^1_{21} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1 \dot{\lambda}_1}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_1}^2}{{h_2}^2} \Gamma^1_{22} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2 \dot{\lambda}_1}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_1}^2}{{h_2}^2} \Gamma^1_{23} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_3 \dot{\lambda}_1}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_2}^2}{{h_2}^2} \Gamma^2_{21} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1 \dot{\lambda}_2}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_2}^2}{{h_2}^2} \Gamma^2_{22} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2 \dot{\lambda}_2}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_2}^2}{{h_2}^2} \Gamma^2_{23} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_3 \dot{\lambda}_2}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_3}^2}{{h_2}^2} \Gamma^3_{21} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1 \dot{\lambda}_3}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_3}^2}{{h_2}^2} \Gamma^3_{22} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2 \dot{\lambda}_3}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_3}^2}{{h_2}^2} \Gamma^3_{23} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_3 \dot{\lambda}_3}{\dot{\lambda}_2} . </math> </div> Plugging in values for the Christoffel symbols leads to the expression <div align="center"> <math> \frac{d\Xi}{dt} = \frac{{h_1}^2}{{h_2}^2} \frac{\partial_2 h_1}{h_1} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1 \dot{\lambda}_1}{\dot{\lambda}_2} - \frac{{h_1}^2}{{h_2}^2} \frac{h_2}{h_1} \frac{\partial_1 h_2}{h_1} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2 \dot{\lambda}_1}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_2}^2}{{h_2}^2} \frac{\partial_1 h_2}{h_2} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1 \dot{\lambda}_2}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_2}^2}{{h_2}^2} \frac{\partial_2 h_2}{h_2} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2 \dot{\lambda}_2}{\dot{\lambda}_2} + \frac{{h_3}^2}{{h_2}^2} \frac{\partial_2 h_3}{h_3} \frac{\dot{\lambda}_3 \dot{\lambda}_3}{\dot{\lambda}_2} . </math> </div> And limiting our interest to motion within the meridional plane (setting <math>\dot{\lambda}_3 = 0</math>) and simplifying <span id="CV.02"><table align="right" border="1" cellpadding="10" width="10%"> <tr><th><font color="darkblue">CV.02</font></th></tr> </table></span> <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \frac{d\Xi}{dt} \equiv - \frac{d\ln C_2}{dt} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math> = </math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{h_1}{h_2} \frac{\partial_2 h_1}{h_2} \frac{{\dot{\lambda}_1}^2}{\dot{\lambda}_2} - \cancel{\frac{\partial_1 h_2}{h_2} \dot{\lambda}_1} + \cancel{\frac{\partial_1 h_2}{h_2} \dot{\lambda}_1} + \frac{\partial_2 h_2}{h_2} \dot{\lambda}_2 </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math> = </math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \biggl[ \biggl(\frac{h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1}{h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2}\biggr)^2 \frac{\partial \ln h_1}{\partial\ln\lambda_2} + \frac{\partial \ln h_2}{\partial \ln\lambda_2}\biggr] \frac{d \ln{\lambda}_2}{dt} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" colspan="3"> <font color="red"><b>NOTE:</b> Sign error fixed on 15 July 2010</font>.
