Abstract
This paper presents a computer-assisted proof of solutions of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation describing hydrodynamic stability of Poiseuille flow. A numerical verification method for computing eigenpair enclosures for this non-selfadjoint eigenvalue problem is described. Some verification results confirm the effectiveness of the method. This constitutes the first strict mathematical instability proof for the Poiseuille flow.
