The stability for magnetic field to the solution of the Riemann problem for the polytropic fluid in a variable cross-section duct is discussed. By the vanishing magnetic field method, the stable solutions are determined by comparing the limit solutions with the solutions of the Riemann problem for the polytropic fluid in a duct obtained by the entropy rate admissibility criterion.

Configurations of a plasma with constant pressure and with surface-currents are examined which are in equilibrium with a exterior magnetic potential-field. With the aid of an existence-theorem from the theory of partial differential equations the question of the existence of such configurations is reduced to differential-geometrical properties of the surface of the plasma. These properties are then investigated for the torus of circular cross-section with an interior azimutal magnetic field and for a surface of axial symmetry with variable diameter. Finally a torus of variable cross-section is treated approximately.
