Abstract
The linear stability of shock waves in a radiating relativistic gas is analyzed. According to the ratio between the sound speed and gas spee d behind and ahead the front of discontinuity. the radiative shocks ar e classified as slow and fast shock waves respectively. With the help of the technique of dissipative energy integrals, it is proved that th e fast shock waves are stable, An ill-posedness example for stability problem for slow shocks is constructed.
