Abstract
The interaction between tearing modes with the mode numbersm=1,n=1 andm=2,n=2 is investigated for different initial amplitudes of the modes, using a single helicity approximation, a step-current profile and a time-independent resistivity. Also included are the results on the temporal behaviour of the amplitude of the uncoupled modem=2,n=2 in the situation with identical equilibrium parameters as ours.
