The expressions Q a are differential in the Euler-Lagrange expressions, specifically we have Q a = D a [ E ] = ∑ ∑ | I | = 0 s ( − − 1 ) | I | d I ( E σ σ R a σ σ , I ) = ∑ ∑ | I | = 0 s F a σ σ , I d I E σ σ , where F a σ σ , I = ∑ ∑ | J | = 0 s − − | I | ( | I | + | J | | I | ) ( − − 1 ) | I | + | J | d J R a σ σ , I J . Hence, the equations 0 = D a [ E ] are q differential relations to which the Euler-Lagrange expressions are subject to, and therefore the Euler-Lagrange equations of the system are not independent.
