Well-posedness of the relaxed Electron MHD equations with random diffusion
Abstract
We study the three-dimensional Electron Magnetohydrodynamics (EMHD) equations without resistivity, a regime known to be ill-posed in Sobolev and Gevrey spaces due to the quasilinear nature of the system. Motivated by recent work on stochastic regularization of the inviscid primitive equations [R. Hu, Q. Lin, and R. Liu, J. Nonlinear Sci. 35:84 (2025)], we introduce a modified EMHD model where resistivity is replaced by multiplicative noise and the nonlinear term is regularized by a fractional derivative. In particular, the classical advection term (B · ∇)J is replaced by its fractional version (B · ∇α)J with 0 < α ≤ 1. We show that for α < 1, the system is locally well-posed almost surely in suitable Gevrey spaces, and globally well-posed with high probability for small initial data. The results demonstrate that stochastic perturbations can restore well-posedness in a broader class of quasilinear magnetic models relevant to plasma dynamics and turbulence.
