Abstract

The study of plasma instabilities has led to the question whether a certain third order linear differential equation involving a parameter p has solutions which vanish as x → ± ∞. Assuming existence, it is first easily shown that Rep must be positive and then, after a Fourier transform has changed the equation to one of second order, standard comparison equation techniques are used to obtain a contradiction, valid for large enough p.
