Abstract

The paper is devoted to convective instability of reaction fronts. New approaches are developed to study some eigenvalue problems arising in chemical hydrodynamics. For gaseous combustion in the case of equality of transport coefficients, a linear stability analysis of an upward propagating front is carried out. A minimax representation of the stability boundary is obtained.
