The iterative method of finding solutions to three-dimensional equilibria is discussed. The implicit Fourier-expansion method is briefly described and applied to the linear problems arising in the iterative loops. The paper shows how to efficiently solve for the magnetic field induced by the plasma.
For the calculation of steady states in continuous culture and the application to optimization, numerical methods for solving the related nonlinear system of equations are usually employed. Such a system may have more than one solution but numerical algorithms find -at best -one solution per computa
