Rotational discontinuity in magnetohydrodynamics with anisotropic pressure. II (Q1920689)

In the present article, which is a natural continuation of [the authors, Sib. Math. J. 35, No. 1, 9-20 (1994; Zbl 0840.76092); translation from Sib. Mat. Zh. 35, No. 1, 12-23 (1994)], we study well-posedness of mixed problems of stability of rotational discontinuity in magnetohydrodynamics with anisotropic pressure. Earlier we constructed an Hadamard-type example of ill-posedness for the linear mixed problem of stability of rotational discontinuity in the ordinary magnetohydrodynamics under the influence of a strong magnetic field. We construct the analogous example in the present article; namely, we construct an example of ill-posedness for the linear mixed problem of stability of rotational discontinuity in anisotropic magnetohydrodynamics (the Chu-Goldberg-Low model in the case of a cold plasma); i.e., we prove that in this case the rotational discontinuity is unstable.
