Abstract:

The stability of a magnetodynamic equilibrium system for perturbations xi depending on a parameter alpha is investigated. Growth rates are compared rather than only the second order energy variations without calculating them explicitly. The explicit dependence on alpha as well as the implicit dependence on alpha through xi is taken into account. Author
