For an occupied uniform two-component Bose-Einstein condensate, the gradient and trapping terms vanish. Dividing each stationary equation by its nonzero field gives
The same relations follow by differentiating the uniform interaction-energy density with respect to each number density. When , the inverse relations are
These describe a genuinely overlapping mixture only when both densities are nonnegative. An unoccupied component cannot be divided out of its stationary field equation; it requires the appropriate constrained equilibrium condition instead.
