Abstract

A necessary condition for the existence of general dissipative magneto-hydrodynamic equilibria is derived. The derivation comprises Ohm's law and the existence of magnetic surfaces, only in the sense of the Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser (KAM) theorem. All other equations describing the system are only required for evaluating the condition for a specific case.
