The transverse evolution of the envelope of an intense, unbunched ion beam in a linear transport channel can be modeled for the approximation of linear self-fields by the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (KV) envelope equations. Here we employ the KV envelope equations to analyze the linear stability properties of so-called mismatch perturbations about the matched (i.e., periodic) beam envelope in continuous focusing, periodic solenoidal, and periodic quadrupole transport lattices for a coasting beam. The formulation is analyzed and explicit self-consistent KV distributions are derived for an elliptical beam envelope in a periodic solenoidal transport channel. This derivation extends previous work to identify emittance measures and Larmor-frame transformations to allow application of standard form envelope equations to solenoidal focusing channels. Perturbed envelope equations are derived that include driving sources of mismatch excitation resulting from focusing errors, particle loss, and beam emittance growth. These equations are solved analytically for continuous focusing and demonstrate a factor of 2 increase in maximum mismatch excursions resulting from sudden driving perturbations relative to adiabatic driving perturbations. Numerical and analytical studies are carried out to explore properties of normal mode envelope oscillations without driving excitations in periodic solenoidal and quadrupole focusing lattices. Previous work on this topic by Struckmeier and Reiser [

] is extended and clarified. Regions of parametric instability are mapped, new classes of envelope instabilities are found, parametric sensitivities are explored, general limits and mode invariants are derived, and analytically accessible limits are checked. Important, and previously unexplored, launching conditions are described for pure envelope modes in periodic quadrupole focusing channels.
