Not sure how to edit my post, but I think that the script that factors in the perturbing acceleration into the orbital elements found through conversion of state vector actually just uses one perturbing acceleration at a time. This is due to the problem statement, found below (#2).

Homework Statement I'm numerically integrating Gaussian Variational Equations on MATLAB. I have a script which, given initial values for a, e, i, Ω (RAAN), ω (argument at perigee), and θ (true anomaly), will compute the r and v vectors through numerical integration. This is done with J2 and...
