TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the construction of stepped-pressure equilibria as extrema of a multi-region, relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy functional that combines elements of ideal MHD and Taylor relaxation, and which they call MRXMHD.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of poloidal and toroidal rotation and anisotropy in tokamaks were investigated using a Bayesian inference framework, and it was shown that the effect of consistent pressure profile consistent with internal measurements such as charge exchange recombination spectroscopy and Thomson scattering has a much larger impact.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the construction of stepped-pressure equilibria as extrema of a multi-region, relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy functional that combines elements of ideal MHD and Taylor relaxation, and which they call MRXMHD.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors jointly funded by the Australian Government through International Science Linkages Grant No.CG130047, the Australian National University, the United Kingdom Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council under Grant No EP/G003955, and by the European Communities under the contract of Association between EURATOM and CCFE.

TL;DR: In this article, it is argued from the Birkhoff theorem that existence of such an invariant torus is also sufficient for continuation to be possible, and an important corollary is that the rotational transform of the continued field on a surface of discontinuity must, generically, be irrational.
