Sufficient conditions are obtained for the inviscid instability of a general class of plane parallel shear flows. First, Rayleigh's equation is converted into a nonlinear integral equation for the basic velocity profile, and sufficient conditions are then deduced for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to this integral equation, subject to appropriate homogeneous boundary conditions on the eigenfunction theta(y). The velocity profiles U(y) so derived are guaranteed to be unstable. The paper also describes a method for obtaining a general class of new exact neutrally stable solutions of Rayleigh's equation. An example is presented of a class of neutrally stable solutions for jetlike profiles on an unbounded domain.
