5. The Dispersion Relation
Now we seek the solutions of (17) which remain
bounded in the two regions. The appropriate solutions trix of the coefficients of A , A , B , and B in (21)
For a non-trivial solution, the determinant of the ma-

in the general form. Since the expressions for the Qi’s

not be obtained easily analytically. In order to get an
insight into the tendencies of the actual situations, we
consider now the case of two gravitating streams of the
same uniform densities, flowing past each other with
the same velocity in opposite directions, and with the
same magnetic field and the same velocity of sound in
the two streams. The same model has been considered
by Singh and Khare [13], we therefore set
δφ = A e +B2eN2z(z < 0),

where A , A , B and B are constants of integration. In
writing the solutions (19) and (20) for δφ it is assumed
that N and N are so defined that their real parts are
positive. The four boundary conditions to be satisfied
at the interface z = 0 are:
