Spin asymmetry of the ground states is studied for the trapped spin-degenerate (two-component) gases of the fermionic atoms with the repulsive interaction between different components, and, for large particle number, the asymmetric (collective ferromagnetic) states are shown to be stable because it can be energetically favorable to increase the fermi energy of one component rather than the increase of the interaction energy between up-down components. We formulate the Thomas-Fermi equations and show the algebraic methods to solve them. From the Thomas-Fermi solutions, we find three kinds of ground states in finite system: 1) paramagnetic (spin-symmetric), 2) ferromagnetic (equilibrium) and 3) ferromagnetic (nonequilibrium) states. We show the density profiles and the critical atom numbers for these states obtained analytically, and, in ferromagnetic states, the spin-asymmetries are shown to occur in the central regions of the trapped gas, and grows up with increasing particle number. Based on the obtained results, we discuss the experimental conditions and current difficulties to realize the ferromagnetic states of the trapped atom gas, which should be overcome.
