Abstract
A procedure is given for eliminating resonances and stochasticity in a nonaxisymmetric vacuum toroidal magnetic field. The results of this procedure are tested by the surface-of-section method. It is found that one can obtain magnetic fields with increased rotational transform and decreased island structure while retaining basically the same winding law.Keywords
