The steady states are obtained as minimizers of an energy-Casimir functional from which fact their dynamical stability is deduced. The analysis applies to some of the well-known polytropic steady states, but it also considerably extends the class of known steady states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-06-10T20:24:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q99", "35B35", "85A05", "85A15" ], "keywords": [ "stable steady states", "well-known polytropic steady states", "stellar dynamics case", "energy-casimir functional", "analysis applies" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis", "year": 1999, "volume": 147, "number": 3, "pages": 225 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999ArRMA.147..225G" } } }
