Abstract

Under the assumption of a general symmetry (dependency on two space variables only), a generalized Grad–Shafranov equilibrium equation is derived and discussed. An elementary formulation of the boundary conditions is given and the existence of solutions is investigated. It emerges that from the equilibrium requirements almost no restrictions follow for the two arbitrary functions appearing in the equilibrium equation.
