“…According to the assumption that g α (t) is varying slowly in comparison to φ(t), cf. (7), and that this also holds true when comparing the variation in arm-length and position vectors to φ(t), we may approximate T L1,2 y α 1,2 (t) ≈ e β1,2(t) y α 1,2 (t). Using (9) along with similar manipulations for y α 2,1 (t), along with Taylor expansions of e β1,2(t) and e −2πiω0p2(t)•k and some calculations one obtains…”
