The derivation uses second-order perturbation theory and assumes that the perturbation slowly grows over a very long time (the time-asymptotic limit). This formula has been widely used to predict the angular momentum transport between spiral arms and stella...

The conditions are that the equality theory must contain axiom , and the formula language must depart from Horn clauses and accept universal quantiications and implications in goals. In short, CLP((,) must be close to Prolog. ...
