The stability of the solutions of the self-field equations for the circular symmetric annular Josephson junctions is analyzed in this paper. The stability of the solutions is determined by the signs of the second-order variation of the free energy with respect to the variation of the phase difference in the junctions. This criterion can then be tranformed to a eigenvalue problem. The solutions may be stable, nonstable, or metastable for a given bias current.
