For the nontachyonic mass (c<0, µ2<6), we have found that all nonstatic perturbations (odd-, even-parity and scalar perturbations) allow only the real values of frequency k. This means that the black hole in the massive Brans-Dicke theory is classically stable. However, for the tachyonic mass of scalar field (c>0, µ2>6), we find that the massive Brans-Dicke theory is classically unstable. We also emphasize that the potential forms of odd-parity perturbations is simply given by the pure-gravitational perturbations. For the even-parity case, we obtain the same potential just as Zerilli’s case by combining the even-parity gravitational wave and scalar wave. For static perturbations (k=0) and c>0, only the odd- and even-parity cases with L=0, 1 is allowed to avoid exponentially growing modes.
