36. i + 2) terms. On the other hand, for a strongly asymmetric parent, by Eq. (18), the daughters have very different second moments. Thus the skew of the parent is highly influential, contrary to the impression given in Ref. 31.
37. In this case, the external fields may be provided by an admixture of other conserved species, in whose presence our slightly polydisperse component exists.

39. This expansion of the equations of the phase boundaries is in some ways equivalent (though in a quite different formalism) to the Clausius-Clapeyron-type equation derived by Bolhuis and Kofke (Ref. 6) for the P - ν phase diagram, where ν parametrizes the variance of a Gaussian distribution of activities of polydisperse hard spheres. The present analysis, though restricted to narrow distributions, is more general.

47. In a monodisperse system, the distribution is a delta function. It is therefore not possible to vary the mean while holding the other moments constant. Nevertheless, being of higher order in the small quantity ∈, the higher moments are stationary, so the partial derivative is well defined.
