Abstract:
The magnetohydrodynamics equations in a cylinder linearized around an equilibrium state with vertical magnetic field reduce to a single singular second order partial differential equation where the time frequency enters as a parameter. Although there could exist whole families of solutions depending on arbitrary values at the singularity [1], only one of them is physically correct. We analyze theoretically and numerically the problem and the physical consequences of our results.
