Scientific paper

A collapse of a cold uniform spherical stellar system is studied. Triaxial instabiity is observed when 2 T/W = 0.1, while no such sign is apparent when 2 T/W = 0.3. A shell structure is seen during the initial collapse stage. This shell structure disappears as the collisionless phase mixing occurs. The phase mixing time-scale is observed to be larger than the violent relaxation time-scale.
