Pseudospectrum and black hole quasinormal mode instability

JL Jaramillo, RP Macedo, LA Sheikh - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
We study the stability of quasinormal modes (QNM) in asymptotically flat black hole
spacetimes by means of a pseudospectrum analysis. The construction of the Schwarzschild …
