The stability of linear initial–boundary-value problems for hyperbolic systems (with constant coefficients) is linked to the zeros of the so-called Lopatinskii determinant. Depending on the location of these zeros, problems may be either unstable, strongly stable or weakly stable. The first two classes are known to be ‘open’, in the sense that the instability or the strong stability persists under a small change of coefficients in the differential operator and/or in the boundary condition.Here we show that a third open class exists, which we call ‘weakly stable of real type’. Many examples of physical or mathematical interest depend on one or more parameters, and the determination of the stability class as a function of these parameters usually needs an involved computation. We simplify it by characterizing the transitions from one open class to another one. These boundaries are easier to determine since they must solve some overdetermined algebraic system.Applications to the wave equation, linear elasticity, shock waves and phase boundaries in fluid mechanics are given.


The problem of the stability of difference approximations for initial boundary-value problems is examined and recent results obtained in this field by Gustafsson, Kreiss & Sundström (1971) are presented. It is shown that even for scalar equations the Ryabenkii-Godunow condition is not sufficient for stability and a procedure is outlined which leads to a slightly strengthened form of this condition which is satisfactory in practice.
