Abstract

The linear stability of steady flow of an inhomogeneous, incompressible hydromagnetic fluid is considered. Circle theorems which provide bounds on the complex eigenfrequencies of the unstable normal modes are obtained. Sufficient conditions for stability follow in a number of special cases.
