In the non-dissipative systems, the wavenumbers k n are real and fre-
quency ω independent. Then the boundary problem (5.72)-(5.73) is the
usual Sturm-Liouville problem. Its eigenvalues are real, its eigenfunctions
form an orthonormalized system, and FMS-plasma perturbations can be pre-
sented as a superposition of non-damping normal oscillations. With dissi-
pation taken into account, k n depends on ω and Im k n
=0 . The problem
(5.70)-(5.72) has non-zero solutions only at some discrete values of frequency
ω nl = ω nl
nl ,l =1 , 2 , 3 ,... , with non-zero decrement γ nl .
Let us denote by V nl ( x ) the eigenfunctions corresponding to resonance
frequencies ω nl of (5.71), (5.72) and introduce the designations

ωn ( x ) is found from the solution of the Cauchy problem (5.72), (5.75) and
can therefore be found at all ω . The problem (5.72), (5.74) is not a Cauchy
problem. Therefore it may have solutions only at some ω , more precisely
at such ω at which a non-trivial solution of (5.72) satisfies the boundary
conditions
x = l x

In a suciently close neighborhood of eigenfrequencies ω nl ,wehave
d ϕ (1)
= 0. Therefore, the conditions (5.71) at ω = ω nl can be sat-
isfied by selecting norm N (1)
ωn ( l x ) / d x
nl of eigenfunctions V nl ( x ) in such a way as to
satisfy the boundary condition (5.74) and by setting
ϕ (1)
ωn ( x )= V nl ( x ) t ω = ω nl .
