✦ Synopsis

A variational expression for the maximal growth rate4or its least upper bound) is also given. The energy principle used in the theory is then applied to the problem of the resistive, viscous, incompressible magnetohydrodynamic sheet pinch. This volume brings together recent results in several areas of optimization and stability theory. For someone who does not keep up with the research in one or more of these areas, it provides an efficient means for catching up with the latest ideas. The papers are clearly written, and previous extensive knowledge of the subject matter is not required for an understanding of the material.
