Computations of the strong field generation of gravitational waves by black hole processes produce waveforms that are dominated by quasinormal (QN) ringing, a damped oscillation characteristic of the black hole. We describe here the mathematical problem of quantifying the QN content of the waveforms generated. This is done in several steps: (i) We develop the mathematics of QN systems that are complete (in a sense to be defined) and show that there is a quantity, the ``excitation coefficient,'' that appears to have the properties needed to quantify QN content. (ii) We show that incomplete systems can (at least sometimes) be converted to physically equivalent complete systems. Most notably, we give a rigorous proof of completeness for a specific modified model problem. (iii) We evaluate the excitation coefficient for the model problem, and demonstrate that the excitation coefficient is of limited utility. We finish by discussing the general question of quantification of QN excitations, and offer a few speculations about unavoidable differences between normal mode and QN systems.

Dynamical system approach to the spectral (in)stability of black holes under localised potential perturbations
Black-hole resonances migrate along complex-plane flow lines toward hard-wall attractors, and repellers near the unperturbed modes explain why perturbation theory fails so early.

Numerical study on the robustness of the stability for stable black holes
Infinitesimal negative or stochastic near-horizon deformations of the Regge-Wheeler potential can destabilize an otherwise stable Schwarzschild black hole in a toy scalar-field model.

Sensitivity of black hole spectral instability to ultraviolet perturbations
Localized ultraviolet perturbations to black hole effective potentials drive the fundamental quasinormal mode along spiral paths in the complex plane, with trajectories set by perturbation size, decay profile, and int...

Reflectionless and echo modes in asymmetric Damour-Solodukhin wormholes
In asymmetric Damour-Solodukhin wormholes, reflectionless and echo modes share asymptotic spectral properties parallel to the real frequency axis with matching spacing, and reflectionless modes lie closer to the axis ...

Spectrum instability and greybody factor stability for parabolic approximation of Regge-Wheeler potential
Replacing the Regge-Wheeler potential by piecewise parabolas makes quasinormal-mode spectra unstable, with long-lived overtones, while greybody factors stay close to the exact Schwarzschild result.

Bound States of the Schwarzschild Black Hole
The bound states of the inverted Regge-Wheeler potential are exponentially condensed near zero energy and strongly delocalized, linking black hole overtone instability to long-range potential features.
