Weakly Quasisymmetric Near-Axis Solutions to all Orders

2021 
We show that the equations satisfied by weakly quasisymmetric magnetic fields can be solved to arbitrarily high order in powers of the distance from the magnetic axis. This demonstration makes no assumptions regarding the underlying nature of MHD equilibria. The existence of solutions requires an appropriate choice of parameters, most notably the toroidal current or rotational transform profiles. We do not prove that the expansion converges (it might be asymptotic), and thus the demonstration here should not be taken as definitive proof of the existence of global solutions. Instead, we provide a systematic construction of solutions to arbitrarily high order.
