Abstract

A basic procedure is presented for dealing with the resonance problems that appear in MHD of which resonant absorption of waves at the Alfvén resonance point is the best known example in solar physics. The procedure avoids solving the full fourth-order differential equation of dissipative MHD by using connection formulae across the dissipation layer.
