Non-Normal Pulsation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 August 2009
Abstract
Klein-Gordon operators with complex potentials are formulated as model systems to examine the possible impact of non-normality on the stellar pulsation eigenvalue problem. Computations of spectra, ε-pseudospectra and resolvent norms for these operators show that extended regions of complex potential, corresponding in stars to non-adiabatic regions, leads to strong non-normality. Introduction of an advective term further increases non-normal properties. Prospective model improvements and implications for resonances and for nonlinear pulsation are considered.
