Abstract
Although many physical experiments and numerical simulations show that the magnetic field can stabilize and inhibit electrically conducting fluids, whether 2D incompressible MHD equations with only magnetic diffusion develop finite time singularities or not is one of the most challenging problems and remains open. Therefore, this issue has always attracted a lot of attention of mathematicians. Due to its linearized system plays a crucial role, to deeper understand the aforesaid issue, in this paper, we make the first attempt to study its linear stability when the magnetic field close to the equilibrium state in the periodic domain and ultimately proposed the linear stability condition (1.4). To be more precise, we show that the solution of its linearized system will be time-asymptotically stable and converge to the equilibrium state in the algebraic rate via the method of spectral analysis, as long as the integrals in the vertical direction of initial perturbations are zeros.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Applied Mathematics Letters is to provide a means of rapid publication for important but brief applied mathematical papers. The brief descriptions of any work involving a novel application or utilization of mathematics, or a development in the methodology of applied mathematics is a potential contribution for this journal. This journal''s focus is on applied mathematics topics based on differential equations and linear algebra. Priority will be given to submissions that are likely to appeal to a wide audience.
