 In the same way as it was done above for the quantity ln Λ, one can hence deduce that the mean decrease in the height of the maxima during an era is finite and the total decrease over a large number of eras increases with "t" → 0 merely as ln Ω.At the same time the lowering of the minima, and by the same token the increase of the [[amplitude]] of the oscillations, proceed () proportional to Ω.In correspondence with the adopted approximation the lowering of the maxima is neglected in comparison with the increase of the amplitudes so αmax = 0, βmax = 0, γmax = 0 for the maximal values of all oscillating functions and the quantities α, β, γ run only through negative values that are connected with one another at each instant of time by the relation .
