Abstract

When we investigate the stability of a bounded distributed system or resonator, the problem is made more difficult than the corresponding lumped system by the fact that the spectrum of the complex fundamental frequencies is countable. By going through all the possible spatial disturbances, i.e., all the wave numbers k n acceptable given the boundary conditions, we can by determining all the roots of the characteristic equation D(ω, k n ) = 0, completely determine the stability. Obviously there will be difficulties, but these are technical.
