【 摘 要 】

Descloux and Geymonat considered a model problem in two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics and conjectured that the essential spectrum has an explicitly given band structure. This conjecture was recently proved by Faierman, Mennicken, and Möller by reducing the problem to that for a 2×2 block operator matrix. In a subsequent paper Faierman and Mennicken investigated the essential spectrum for the problem arising from a particular type of perturbation of precisely one of the operator entries in the matrix representation cited above of the original problem considered by Descloux and Geymonat. In this paper we extend the results of that work by investigating the essential spectrum for the problem arising from particular types of perturbations of all but one of the aforementioned operators. It remains an open question whether one can perturb the exceptional operator in such a way as to leave the essential spectrum unchanged.
