time (t) is Independent Variable (IV)
which counts deceleration days up from 0 to 365¼.
Spot Velocity (Vt); same formula as acceleration.
However, decelerated velocities require
"reverse order"; thus, use "
365¼-t" as exponent. 
Spot Velocity (VAU) Convert Astro Units per day to %c.
 
 EXAMPLE:  Value = 110.72 AU/dy × c/173.AU/dy = 63.95% c.
 IDENTITY:  c = 173.145 AU/day. 
Countdown Distance (dt) 
Uses same "Einsteinian" formula as for acceleration.

Deceleration leads to shrinking distances; countdown to 0 AUs.
Countdown Distance (dLY) IDENTITY: 1 LY = 63,240 AUs
Convert Astro Units (AUs) to Light Years (LYs)
22,945.2 AU × 1 LY/63,240 AU = 0.3628 LY
Total Fuel (ft) is total fuel consumed due to
 G-force propulsion: Assume:
ε∇ = 0.0468% GW/day
After 1 yr of 1G acceleration, total fuel is 15.72% GW0.
Deceleration's G-force daily fuel increases from 15.72% GW0.

INTRODUCTION

RECALL THREE PHASES:
Ph. I: Accelerate for one year at G-force propulsion.  Achieve considerable velocity and simulate gravity.
Ph. II: Cruise for several years to nearby star, at considerable speed, perhaps 64% light speed (c). Simulate Earth like gravity via centrifugal force due to longitudinal spin.
Ph. III: Decelerate for one year at G-force in reverse of Phase I.  Achieve operational velocity upon arrival at destination stellar system. 
This table assumes success for PHASEs I & II, and now considers PHASE III.

SPOT VELOCITY COUNTDOWN
G-force Deceleration Table decrements ship's velocity from cruise velocity of 111.8 AU/day, reverse order of G-force Acceleration Table, which counts velocity up from zero to 111.8 AU/day.
Daily decrements of ship's velocity are Δ = 0.283% c.  

Accordingly, vessel velocity shrinks same daily percentage of light speed, c; eventually reaching a relative zero velocity at the stellar destination to conduct normal ops. 

Without the deceleration phase, the interstellar vessel speeds quickly past the stellar destination, barely able to grab a peek.

EFFICIENCY



Vessel must consume more fuel than needed for just theoretical G-force propulsion. More fuel is needed to overcome design flaws and power peripheral systems such as life support, navigation, communications and even entertainment.

We know propulsion efficiency improves as engineers design ever better  systems. Thus, Thought Experiment (TE) arbitrarily assumes a dynamic efficiency model starting much less than 100% but trending toward 100% over time.

ADJUST DAILY FUEL FLOW (ffDay)
for relativistic growth and inevitable inefficiency.
BEST GUESS BRAINSTORM for daily fuel consumption first involves downsizing fuel estimate due to relativistic mass growth.  Recall: fuel particles at .99c velocity should grow 7x!!  Formula uses ∇ to designate daily relativistic fuel.

A good thing too, cuz propulsion efficiency will likely start out very low; thus, we upsize estimate for fuel consumed to make up for vessel's inefficiency. Following formula uses efficiency factor, ε, to increase estimate of daily fuel.

After all this brainstorming, TE proposes a daily decrement of ε∇ = 0.047% of vessel's initial Gross Weight (GW0) .  Compute each day's GW as % of GW0:
ft = 1 - (1-ε∇)= 1 - (1-.00047)t
EXAMPLE: 241 days
f241 = 1 - (0.99953)241 = 1 - (0.8929)
f241= (100-89.29)% GW0 ≈ 10.67% GW0

INITIAL GROSS WEIGHT (GW0)
Empty vessel has no pax, no cargo and no fuel (aka "dry"). Thus, empty vessel's GW is mass of vessel's structure and equipment. HOWEVER, vessel's function is transporting pax and cargo.  FURTHERMORE, much like today's airliners in the sky, G-force vessel requires considerable initial fuel which could = ½ GW0. EXAMPLE: If vessel mass = 100 tons, fuel could = 50 tons!!!
INITIAL GROSS WEIGHT (GW0) is vessel's total mass at very beginning of journey.  This includes considerable fuel which decreases throughout powered flight.

(FYI, empty vessel dry weight (total structure) and fuel .  Since G-force propulsion consumes fuel (for both acceleration and deceleration),  For this deceleration table, vessel's initial gross weight is taken to be the vessel's total mass at beginning of Phase III, Deceleration.  TE brainstorms a daily GW decrement of:
 ε∇ =  .0485% GW/day.
For each day of G-force, compute total fuel consumed via

FUEL FACTOR SUMMARY
Assume exhaust particle speed = .99c.
Thus, exhaust flow, ∇=0.0356% ship's GW/day, is needed for 1G acceleration.
Increase ∇ by efficiency factor, ε = 1.362,
to compensate for inevitable inefficiencies.
Daily Fuel Consumption Rate:
 ε∇ =0.000485 = .0485% GW/day.
Daily Remainder:
1-ε∇ = 0.99951 = 99.951% GW.

SUMMARY
PHASE I. G-force Acceleration 
for about a year as shown in above table.  Long duration G-force takes vessel to great velocity (perhaps 64.43%c)  and simulates Earth gravity. 
PHASE II.  Cruise at Constant Velocity. 
Pause G-force for a few years at this speed to save fuel; HOWEVER, simulate gravity another way, via longitudinal spin. NOTE: Earth observes that vessel travels 0.6443 LY for each Earth year.
PHASE III. G-force Deceleration 
back to near zero velocity for exactly same duration as Phase I.  Crew will need to carefully navigate to precise location to to reinitiate G-foce propulsion.
