Gravitational instability in the presence of a reflecting boundary
Abstract
The role of a reflecting wall in gravitating systems is studied theoretically in the framework of a Jeans model. When beta ranges from greater than 0 to less than 1/2, special increasing boundary modes are found to exist. These modes are characterized by a discrete spectrum: the value of the ip wavenumber turned out to be unique.
