  A comprehensive two-fluid nonlinear theory of magnetic reconnection driven at
a single, tearing-stable, rational surface embedded in an H-mode tokamak plasma
is presented. The surface is assumed to be resonant with one of the dominant
helical harmonics of an applied resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP). The
theory described in this paper is highly relevant to the problem of
understanding the physics of RMP-induced edge localized mode (ELM) suppression
in tokamak plasmas.
