We present a general formulation for treating the linear stability of inhomogeneous plasmas for which at least one species is described by the Vlasov equation. Use of Poisson bracket notation and expansion of the perturbation distribution function in terms of eigenfunctions of the unperturbed Liouville operator leads to a concise representation of the stability problem in terms of a symmetric dispersion functional. A dispersion matrix is derived which characterizes the solutions of the linearized initial-value problem. The dispersion matrix is then expressed in terms of a dynamic spectral matrix which characterizes the properties of the unperturbed orbits, in so far as they are relevant to the linear stability of the system.

SynopsisWe study the initial value problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equationUnder suitable regularity assumptions on f and ø and growth and sign conditions on f, it is shown that the maximum norms of solutions to (*) decay as t→² ∞ at the same rate as that of solutions to the free Schrödinger equation.

AbstractA study is made of a non-linear diffusion equation which admits bifurcating solutions in the case where the bifurcation is asymmetric. An analysis of the initial-value problem is made using the method of multiple scales, and the bifurcation and stability characteristics are determined. It is shown that a suitable interpretation of the results can lead to determination of the choice of the bifurcating solution adopted by the system.
