This paper is related to the spectral stability of traveling wave solutions of partial dif- ferential equations. In the first part of the paper we use the Gohberg-Rouche Theorem to prove equality of the algebraic multiplicity of an isolated eigenvalue of an abstract operator on a Hilbert space, and the algebraic multiplicity of the eigenvalue of the corresponding Birman-Schwinger type operator pencil. In the second part of the paper we apply this result to discuss three particular classes of problems: the Schr¨ odinger operator, the operator obtained by linearizing a degenerate system of reaction diffusion equations about a pulse, and a general high order differential operator. We study relations between the algebraic multiplicity of an isolated eigenvalue for the respective operators, and the order of the eigenvalue as the zero of the Evans function for the corresponding first order system.
