Abstract: | In this paper we examine the nonlinear and linear stability of variousrotating vortex patches. These patches include the Kirchhoff ellipse, the Kelvin waves, and the co-rotating uniformm vortices. These are achieved by using relative variational methods and spectral analysis. Thus, we extend Arnol'd's idea for stability problems in [1965, 1969] to a non-smooth symmetric setting and also relate that to the usual linear stability analysis.Supported by National Science Foundation under grant DMS-8501746Dedicated to the memory of my grandmother, Lang-Chang Lee Wan |
