Abstract
Let us consider a steady solution of the hydrodynamic equations governing an incompressible, Newtonian fluid. We examine the asymptotic stability of this state by superposing small disturbances and obtaining a set of partial differential equations which govern the behavior of a disturbance (also called the difference motion).
