Entropy-bounded solutions to the Cauchy problem of compressible planar non-resistive magnetohydrodynamics equations with far field vacuum

Abstract

We investigate the Cauchy problem to the compressible planar non-resistive magnetohydrodynamic equations with zero heat conduction. The global existence of strong solutions to such a model has been established by Li and Li (J. Differential Equations 316: 136--157, 2022). However, to our best knowledge, so far there is no result on the behavior of the entropy near the vacuum region for this model. The main novelty of this paper is to give a positive response to this problem. More precisely, by a series of a priori estimates, especially the singular type estimates, we show that the boundedness of the entropy can be propagated up to any finite time provided that the initial vacuum presents only at far fields with sufficiently slow decay of the initial density.
