The present work is concerned with the nonlinear stabilization of the well-known linearly unstable m = 2 magnetohydrodynamic kink modes in a cylindrical plasma with a vacuum interface. We shall study this problem from a perturbational viewpoint and obtain the nonlinear equation which governs the evolution of the mode amplitude. We adopt the method used by Stuart in deriving the Landau equation in fluid mechanics.
