Scientific paper

A derivation of the Brunt-Väisälä frequency, valid in regions of a star where both partial ionization and a varying nuclear composition are present, is given. The final result shows that even in regions where the total ionization approximation is valid, a reduction of the Brunt-Väisälä when compared to the Ledoux criterion is necessary. Areas where this function is important are discussed, and examples are presented using different forms of equations of state.
