The source coefficients are
They vanish for . Repeated-variable factors and the factors from differentiating a quadratic source are included automatically.
The rule is covariant under a simultaneous transformation of the basis, dual basis, input components, and output conversion.
Proof. The source is homogeneous quadratic in field jets. The part contains only derivative-weight patterns and . The part contains ; the part contains . Thus total field-derivative weight is at most two.
For a quadratic polynomial,
Expanding the right-hand side in independent jet coordinates gives (eq:jet-Hessian) and (eq:source-polynomial). Ordinary differentiation supplies a factor two when the same quadratic variable occurs twice. A basis change transforms the Hessian and its two arguments consistently, leaving the underlying bilinear map unchanged.
