We present a general counting result for the unstable eigenvalues of linear operators of the formJ Lin whichJandLare skew- and self-adjoint operators, respectively. Assuming that there exists a self-adjoint operatorKsuch that the operatorsJ LandJ Kcommute, we prove that the number of unstable eigenvalues ofJ Lis bounded by the number of nonpositive eigenvalues ofK. As an application, we discuss the transverse stability of one-dimensional periodic traveling waves in the classical KP-II (Kadomtsev–Petviashvili) equation. We show that these one-dimensional periodic waves are transversely spectrally stable with respect to general two-dimensional bounded perturbations, including periodic and localized perturbations in either the longitudinal or the transverse direction, and that they are transversely linearly stable with respect to doubly periodic perturbations.
