Global classical solutions of 2D MHD system with only magnetic diffusion on periodic domain

Abstract

This paper studies the global existence of classical solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible magneto-hydrodynamical (MHD) system with only magnetic diffusion on the periodic domain. The approach is based on a time-weighted energy estimate, under the assumptions that the initial magnetic field is close enough to an equilibrium state and the initial data have reflection symmetry.
