Abstract
We investigate the instabilities of low winding number electroweak str ings using standard numerical techniques of linear algebra. For string s of unit winding we are able to confirm and extend existing calculati ons of the unstable region in the (m(H)/m(W), sin(2) theta(W)) plane. For strings of higher winding number we map the unstable regions for t he various decay modes.
