Mathematical Vindications of the "Jeans Swindle"
Abstract
Description
The original Jeans dispersion relation and instability criterion are derived by a mathematically well-defined limiting procedure. The procedure highlights Jeans' physical reasoning and vindicates the (in)famous ``Jeans swindle.'' A second, independent procedure is stated which yields the same result.
