Abstract
The limiting behavior of a general three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium near a separatrix is calculated explicitly. No expansions in beta or assumptions about island widths are made. Implications of the results for the numerical calculation of such equilibria are discussed, as well as for issues concerning the existence of three-dimensional MHD equilibria.
