With the use of the general formulation developed in an earlier paper, the nonlinear evolution of the resistive fast interchange mode near the marginally stable state is obtained analytically. The nonlinear amplitude equation of the mode is shown to be of the Landau type. It is also shown that there is a stable equilibrium bifurcating from the initial equilibrium. Comparing this analytical result to numerical simulations, it is confirmed that the saturation level and the saturation time are well estimated by this Landau type of nonlinear amplitude equation. © 1990 American Institute of Physics.
