This paper studies whether, without tackling the question of completeness of the normal modes, one can relate the question of the nonexistence of unstable normal modes having purely outgoing waves at large radii to the question of the stability of systems to perturbations involving gravitational radiation in general relativity. An affirmative conclusion is established for the case of nonradial perturbations of spherical relativistic stellar models; that is, it is shown that a model is stable to small nonradial perturbations essentially if and only if it does not possess an unstable outgoing normal mode. This result is combined with those of an earlier paper to show that a relativistic model is stable to nonradial perturbations if its density decreases outward monotonically and if it its relativistic Schwarzschild discriminant is positive.
