    Abstract

    An ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) phenomenon in three-dimensional plasmas was analyzed. Results confirm strong quantum chaos in the pressure-driven ballooning modes is affected by the singular nature of the ideal MHD. The ideal MHD is was regularized using a k-space method and a formalism a chaotic Hamiltonian billiard problem.
