Abstract: | The problem of thermal convection is investigated when the heat flux is a nonlinear function of the temperature gradient.
A complete analysis of the linear instability problem is given. The nonlinear stability problem is studied in a case which
is believed to be physically relevant and the stability threshold is compared directly to that found by linear instability
theory.
