these become 2Ap = Aw + u+ vv — ¡xw, (32).
2 Bq = /¿ct — vu + v + Aw,
2Cr = ij-ut + ¡xu — \v + w,
whence also
2X2 = ktz (33).
Substituting the values of Ap, Bq, Gr, given by (30) in the equations (6), we deduce
2a = Act -f и — vv + fxw (34),
2b = /¿ct + vu + v — A w,
2c = уст — ¡xu + \v + w,
whence also
2 (aA + Ь/х + су) = /ест (35),
which in fact follows from (33) and (17). And likewise the inverse system,

и = - ( a + yb — ¡Xc) (36).

v = - (— ya + b + Ac),

w = - ( ¡x<x — Ab I - c).
It is easy to deduce
A: 2 = ^/с [w 2 + v 2 + w 2 + ct 2 ] (37),
u = ^ [(m 2 + v 2 + w 2 ) + (1 + к) ct 2 ] (38).
Again, from the equations (10 bis),
к (bGv — cBq) = — 2A (a 2 + b 2 + с 2 ) + 2a (Aa + /xh + ус) + 2 (by — с/х) XI
= — 2A& 2 + 2 (a + by — c¡x) XI
= — 2A& 2 + icufl;
and, forming also the similar expressions for к (c Ap — a Gr), and к (a Bq — b Ap), we thus
obtain
Пи — - & 2 A = bGr — cBq (39),

to which many others might probably be joined.
The constants of the problem are a, b, c, h, e, 3. Of these a, b, c are given as
functions of А, /X, v, u, v, w, by the equations (34); in which ct is to be considered as
