Abstract
Study of linear stability for ideal fluid plane-parallel flow leads to Rayleigh equation and associated boundary eigenvalue problem being both singular and non-selfadjoint. Operatortheoretic formulation of this problem is treated within the framework of Friedrichs model. Stationary scattering theory technique is applied to obtain corresponding eigen-function expansion theorem in the case when velocity profile of main stationary flow is close to linear. Besides, inverse scattering problem related to Rayleigh equation is considered. Local solvability of this problem and local uniqueness property are established.
