Abstract
A study is made of the stability against localized perturbations of an idealized toroidal magnetostatic equilibrium. The principal new result is a corrected version of the so‐called ‘‘ballooning transformation’’ whereby periodic perturbations of the toroidal system are mapped onto aperiodic perturbations of the corresponding unbounded system.Keywords
