The non-self-adjoint Frieman-Rotenberg equation for the linear ideal magnetohydrodynamic modes in flow equilibria is numerically solved in shaped finite-aspect ratio axisymmetric tokamak geometry. A quadratic form is derived from this equation, and, in particular, the self-adjoint force operator with finite toroidal rotation is cast into a manifestly self-adjoint form. The toroidal rotational velocities in the subsonic regime are considered. The quadratic form is discretized by a mixed finite element procedure in the radial direction and by Fourier modes in the periodic directions. The analysis takes into account the plasma rotation.
