is based on a somewhat unusual technique (in the field of MHD equilibrium calculations), namely [[:Wikipedia:conformal mapping|conformal mapping]] theory.

Using this technique, the (arbitrarily shaped) cross section of the last closed [[flux surface]] is mapped to a circular disk, greatly facilitating the solution of equilibrium and stability problems.
