The Free-Energy is,
Therefore, also,
Equilibrium configurations exist at extrema of the free-energy function, that is, they are identified by setting <math>~d\mathfrak{G}/dR = 0</math>. Hence, equilibria are defined by the condition,

Given the radial profile of the density and pressure in the equilibrium configuration, solve the eigenvalue problem defined by the, LAWE: Linear Adiabatic Wave (or Radial Pulsation) Equation
to find one or more radially dependent, radial-displacement eigenvectors, <math>~x \equiv \delta r/r</math>, along with (the square of) the corresponding oscillation eigenfrequency, <math>~\omega^2</math>. |
The second derivative of the free-energy function is,
Evaluating this second derivative for an equilibrium configuration — that is by calling upon the (virial) equilibrium condition to set the value of the internal energy — we have,

Variational Principle |
|||||||||||||||||||
Multiply the LAWE through by <math>~4\pi x dr</math>, and integrate over the volume of the configuration gives the, Governing Variational Relation
Now, by setting <math>~(d\ln x/d\ln r)_{r=R} = -3</math>, we can ensure that the pressure fluctuation is zero and, hence, <math>~P = P_e</math> at the surface, in which case this relation becomes,

Approximation: Homologous Expansion/Contraction |
|||||||||||||||||||
If we guess that radial oscillations about the equilibrium state involve purely homologous expansion/contraction, then the radial-displacement eigenfunction is, <math>~x</math> = constant, and the governing variational relation gives,
