}The linear perturbation equation of the tearing instability derived in LSC theory (Loureiro, Schekochihin, and Cowley (Loureiro, et.al. 2007)) is numerically examined as an initial value problem, where the inner and outer regions are seamlessly solved under uniform resistivity. Hence, all regions are solved as the resistive MHD (magnetohydrodynamics). To comprehensively study physically acceptable perturbation solutions, the behaviors of the local maximum points required for physically…
