A matrix method to solve a resistive MHD stability problem has been developed. The equations are reduced to an eigenvalue problem of block tridiagonal matrices. The inverse iteration method is employed as a solution method of the eigenvalue problem.

The quest to determine accurately the stability of tearing and resistive interchange modes in two dimensional toroidal geometry led to the development of the F'EST-3 code, which is based on solving the singular, zero-frequency ideal MHD equation in the plasma bulk and determining the outer data \(\D
Effects of the finite hybrid element on linear stability calculations of the ideal internal modes in a cylindrical plasma are investigated analytically and numerically. The finiteness of the poloidal mesh size ~most affects the growth rate, and an artificial correction of the toroidal mode number n
