Statement of the Eigenvalue Problem

Here, we build on our discussion in an accompanying chapter in which five published analyses of nonaxisymmetric instabilities in Papaloizou-Pringle tori were reviewed: The discovery paper, PP84, and papers by four separate groups that were published within a couple of years of the discovery paper — Papaloizou & Pringle (1985), Blaes (1985), Kojima (1986), and Goldreich, Goodman & Narayan (1986). Following the lead of Blaes (1985; hereafter Blaes85), in particular, we have shown that the relevant eigenvalue problem is defined by the following 2nd-order PDE,

<math>~0</math>

<math>~\approx</math>

<math>~ \eta^2 (1-\eta^2)\cdot \frac{\partial^2(\delta W)^{(0)}}{\partial \eta^2} + (1-\eta^2) \cdot \frac{\partial^2(\delta W)^{(0)}}{\partial\theta^2} + \biggl[ \eta (1-\eta^2) -2 n \eta^3 \biggr] \cdot \frac{\partial (\delta W)^{(0)}}{\partial \eta} + 2n\eta^2 \biggl( \frac{\sigma}{\Omega_0} + m \biggr)^2 (\delta W)^{(0)} \, , </math>

where, <math>~\delta W^{(0)}</math> is the dimensionless enthalpy perturbation.
