Abstract
It is shown that a function may be extracted from the continuum eigenmode of the Vlasov operator which is related to the boundary values of the dispersion function on the real axis of the complex frequency plane. The precise content and possible consequences of this relationship are investigated in detail, especially the possibility of reconstructing the dispersion function and establishing stability criteria.
