The stability of the equilibrium state is one of the crucial tests a hydrodynamic theory needs to pass. A widespread technique to study this property consists of searching for a Lyapunov function of the linearised theory, in the form of a…
The stability conditions of a relativistic hydrodynamic theory can be derived directly from the requirement that the entropy should be maximised in equilibrium. Here we use a simple geometrical argument to prove that, if the hydrodynamic…
