Abstract
We derive a stability condition for the Thomas-Fermi solution of a finite nucleus where the underlying force has a finite range. The stability condition can be cast in the form of an eigenvalue equation; these eigenvalues must be all positive. The lowest eigenmodes correspond closely to vibration modes. The relationship of this time-independent formulation to the time-dependent Vlasov equation with self-consistent potential is established.
