Abstract

Howard's semicircle theorem and a variational principle for the instability of unidirectional flow of an inviscid fluid are applied to the non-uniform vortex sheets discussed in a previous paper (Hocking 1964). Certain results of §5 of that paper are shown to be wrong and the correct results are obtained.
