The problem of linear stability of confined V-flames with arbitrary gas expansion is addressed. Using the on-shell description of flame dynamics, a general equation governing propagation of disturbances of an anchored flame is obtained. This equation is solved analytically for V-flames in high-velocity channel streams. It is demonstrated that dynamics of flame disturbances in this case is controlled by the memory effects associated with vorticity generated by the curved front. The perturbation growth rate spectrum is determined, and explicit analytic expressions for the eigenfunctions are given. It is found that the piecewise linear V-structure is unstable for all values of the gas expansion coefficient.
