โฆ Synopsis
A computational model to analyze the linear stability properties of general toroidal systems in the ideal magnetohydrodynamic limit is presented. This model includes an explicit treatment of the asymptotic singular behavior at rational surfaces. It is verified through application to internal kink modes.

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
The various problems that are encountered in searching with ERATO the limits of stability of axisymmetric toroidal equilibria are described and illustrated with specific examples.
