Steady tearing mode instabilities with a resistivity depending on a flux function
We consider plasma tearing mode instabilities when the resistivity depends on a flux function (), for the plane slab model. This problem, represented by the MHD equations, is studied as a bifurcation problem. For so doing, it is written in the form , where is a compact operator in a suitable space and is the bifurcation parameter. In this work, the resistivity is not assumed to be a given quantity (as usually done in previous papers, see [1,2,5,7,8,9,10], but it depends non linearly of the...
