and the like equations for ¡x, p!, p!'. The equations written down give
(a — b)\ : (b — c) X' : (c — a) X" = a — b : b — c : c — a,
that is, X = X' = X": and similarly p = p! = /x".
145. But this being so, the three equations in P, Q give
P + 1 (X+yay) VX = 0, Q + i (X +/lub) VF:::!),
that is
dv dv ® — y
u’ijL + v'^- = - (X + fix) V Y.
du dv x—y
In these equations u and v' are arbitrary; hence X and /x must be linear
functions of u and v'; say their values are = -atv! 4- pv', av! 4- tv' respectively. We
have therefore
■£~S(- + <*)vX * —l(#.+n-)VT,

which are the required relations, depending on the square roots of the sextic functions
X = abcdef, and Y = a / b / c / d / e / f / of x and y respectively; but containing the constants
ar, p, a, t, the values of which are not as yet ascertained.
146. I commence the integration of these equations on the assumption that the
values v = 0, v = 0 correspond to indefinitely large values of x and y. We have
