Earlier analytical results are extended to include small vacuum islands which may, in general, have different phases with respect to pressure-induced islands. In currentness stellarator, the formation of islands is shown to depend on the resistive parameter D_R as well as the integrated effect of global Pfirsch-Schluter currents. It is demonstrated that the pressure-induced "self-healing" effect, recently discovered computationally, is also predicted by analytical theory.}, title = {Theory of Pressure-induced Islands and Self-healing in Three-dimensional Toroidal Magnetohydrodynamic Equilibria}, year = {1994} }
