The dynamical renormalization group calculations for distortive structural phase transitions report [[rho].sub.[sigma]] = (zv + [[alpha].sub.[sigma]]), where [[alpha].sub.[sigma]] = [alpha] + 2([phi] - 1)(1 - [[delta].sub.[sigma],1)], where z, v,[phi], and are [alpha] are the dynamical, correlation length, heat capacity, and crossover critical exponents, respectively.
