A numerical method for the computation of the magnetic flux in the vacuum surrounding the plasma in a Tokamak is investigated. It is based on the formulation of a Cauchy problem which is solved through the minimization of an energy error functional. Several numerical experiments are conducted which show the efficiency of the method.
