Island Jacobian Analysis: Periodic Orbits and Monodromy Matrices¶
This notebook demonstrates the full Jacobian/monodromy analysis for magnetic island chains in an analytic stellarator equilibrium, ported from the Julia MCF_scripts approach.
Scientific background¶
A periodic field-line orbit (cycle) is a field line that returns to its starting point after exactly \(n\) toroidal turns: \(X(\phi + 2\pi n) = X(\phi)\).
These are fixed points of the \(n\)-th iterate of the Poincaré map \(P^n\). For a resonance \(q = m/n\) (with \(q = B_\phi r / (B_{pol} R)\), the orbit period is \(m\) turns.
The Jacobian matrix \(DX(\phi)\) evolves as:
where \(A_{ij} = \partial(R B_{pol,i}/B_\phi) / \partial x_j\).
The monodromy matrix \(M = DP(\phi_0 + 2\pi n)\) gives the linearized \(n\)-turn map. Eigenvalues of \(M\):
\(|\lambda| = 1\): elliptic (O-point, stable)
\(|\lambda| > 1\): hyperbolic (X-point, unstable)

1. Setup: Build SimpleStellarartor with q=2/1 island chain¶
We use m_h=2, n_h=1, epsilon_h=0.02 to create a q=2 resonance. In this model, q = m_h/n_h = 2, and the island chain has period 2 (2 toroidal turns).
The q profile: q(r) = q0 + (q1-q0)*psi = q0 + (q1-q0)*(r/r0)²
At r=0: q = q0 = 1.5
At r=r0: q = q1 = 3.5
q=2 surface at: psi = (q-q0)/(q1-q0) = 0.5/2.0 = 0.25 ?r/r0 = 0.5

3. Monodromy Analysis for O-point¶
The monodromy matrix \(M = DP(\phi_0 + 2\pi n)\) encodes the stability of the periodic orbit. For an O-point (elliptic), eigenvalues lie on the unit circle: \(|\lambda| = 1\).
Greene’s residue: \(R_G = (2 - \text{Tr}(M))/4\)
\(0 < R_G < 1\): elliptic (stable)
\(R_G < 0\): hyperbolic (unstable, standard)
\(R_G > 1\): hyperbolic with reflection

The stable manifold ^s$ (blue, cool) contains trajectories that converge to the X-point under forward iteration. The unstable manifold ^u$ (orange, warm) contains trajectories that diverge from the X-point. Together, they form the separatrix skeleton of the island chain.

5. Effect of Perturbation: Orbit Shift Under δB¶
We add a small extra helical perturbation \(\delta B\) with amplitude epsilon_pert. The orbit displacement satisfies:
where \(\delta b_{pol} = [R\delta B_R/B_\phi - R B_R \delta B_\phi/B_\phi^2; \text{same for Z}]\).

epsilon_pert = 0.005 # perturbation amplitude

# Note: field_func returns unit tangent vectors, not raw B fields.
# For the orbit displacement, we use the difference in the phi-parameterized field.

g0 = np.array([f0[0]/f0[2], f0[1]/f0[2], 1.0])

6. Stability Diagram: Greene Residue vs Perturbation Amplitude¶
Scan epsilon_pert from 0 to 0.02. For each amplitude:
Find O and X cycles
Compute Greene’s residue \(R_G = (2 - \text{Tr}(M))/4\)
The transition \(R_G: 0 \to 1\) marks island destruction (KAM-like transition).

Summary¶
This notebook demonstrated:
Periodic orbit finding using Newton-Raphson on the Poincaré map
Jacobian evolution along the orbit via variational equations
Monodromy matrix \(M = J(\phi_0 + 2\pi n)\) with det(M) ?1 (area preservation)
Greene’s residue \(R_G\) as a stability indicator
Orbit shift under perturbation using the periodic boundary condition
Stability diagram: how island chain stability varies with perturbation amplitude
Key results:
O-points have \(0 < R_G < 1\) (elliptic, stable)
X-points have \(R_G < 0\) or \(R_G > 1\) (hyperbolic, unstable)
det(J(φ)) ?1 throughout, confirming area preservation (Hamiltonian structure)
This analysis port from Julia (W7-X EFIT) to Python (analytic stellarator) demonstrates the same physical algorithms without proprietary equilibrium data.
