GROWING WAVE AND INSTABILITY CRITERIA FOR HOT PLASMAS,

Abstract

In the original colliding-pole criterion for determining instability types from dispersion relations, the Landau poles had to be selected laboriously. The simple rule is proved that only poles colliding through negative wave number lead to nonconvective instability. (Author)
