Abstract

A Liapunov functional is constructed for the plane parallel flow of a multicomponent plasma in an external gravitational field. Sufficient conditions for stability to electrostatic perturbations are obtained. The L2-norms of certain system variables are shown to be bounded uniformly in time.
