\ddot{δ}_{m} = \frac{H}{a} \nabla \cdot v_{m} - \frac{1}{a} \nabla \cdot \dot{v}_{m} .

Insert the linear cosmological Euler equation for the peculiar velocity, giving

\ddot{δ}_{m} = \frac{2 H}{a} \nabla \cdot v_{m} + \frac{1}{a ^{2}} \nabla^{2} Φ = - 2 H \dot{δ}_{m} + 4 π G \overset{ρ}{ˉ}_{m} δ_{m} .

Thus the linear matter perturbation growth equation is

\ddot{δ}_{m} + 2 H \dot{δ}_{m} - 4 π G \overset{ρ}{ˉ}_{m} δ_{m} = 0 .

The factor

2 H

includes one expansion term from continuity and one from momentum dilution. This equation uses sub-Hubble, pressureless linear perturbations and the stated matter-only source for the gravitational potential.
