14. The instabilities forced by precession and wave-wave interactions can explain differentially moving features in the jets; [P. E. Hardee, Astrophys. J. ASJOAB 0004-637X 10.1086/321525 555, 744 (2001)];
15. It was possible to interprete the structure and motions of the 3C120 jet (0.6-300 pc) on the basis of KM instabilities [R. C. Walker, Astrophys. J. ASJOAB 0004-637X 10.1086/321548 556, 756 (2001)];
16. The internal structure and dynamics of the M87 jet were understood using the KH linear analysis [A. P. Lobanov, New Astron. Rev. NAREF9 1387-6473 10.1016/S1387-6473(03)00109-X 47, 629 (2003)].

32. The notation for the models follows that of M. Perucho, Astron. Astrophys. AAEJAF 0004-6361 10.1051/0004-6361:20040349 427, 415 (2004) and

34. Numerical simulations were performed using a finite-difference code based on a high-resolution shock-capturing scheme which solves the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics written in conservation form [J. M. Martí, Astrophys. J. ASJOAB 0004-637X 10.1086/303842 479, 151 (1997)]. The code was recently parallelized using open-message passing (OMP) directives.
