We study the linear stability of compressible vortex sheets in two space dimensions. Under a supersonic condition that precludes violent instabilities, we prove an energy estimate for the linearized boundary value problem. Since the problem is characteristic, the estimate we prove exhibits a loss of control on the trace of the solution.

Abstract

We study the linear stability of compressible vortex sheets in two space dimensions. Under a supersonic condition that precludes violent instabilities, we prove an energy estimate for the linearized boundary value problem. Since the problem is characteristic, the estimate we prove exhibits a loss of control on the trace of the solution. Furthermore, the failure of the uniform Kreiss-Lopatinskii condition yields a loss of derivatives in the energy estimate.
