Abstract
The stability of a linear chain of dust particles in an external confining force field is studied. It is assumed that the particles are located in a plasma with Maxwellian electrons with a directed flow of cold ions. It is shown that the aperiodic instability of doubling the chain period can develop in a subsonic flow together with the instability of coupled waves. The region of the crystal stability in the space of external parameters is constructed.
