Abstract

This paper examines the uniqueness of weak solutions to the d-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with the fractional dissipation (Δ)αu(-\Delta)^\alpha u and without the magnetic diffusion. Important progress has been made on the standard Laplacian dissipation case α=1\alpha=1. This paper discovers that there are new phenomena with the case α<1\alpha<1. The approach for α=1\alpha=1 can not be directly extended to α<1\alpha<1. We establish that, for α<1\alpha<1, any initial data (u0,b0)(u_0, b_0) in the inhomogeneous Besov space B2,σ(Rd)B^\sigma_{2,\infty}(\mathbb R^d) with σ>1+d2α\sigma> 1+\frac{d}{2}-\alpha leads to a unique local solution. For the case α1\alpha\ge 1, u0u_0 in the homogeneous Besov space B˚2,11+d22α(Rd)\mathring B^{1+\frac{d}{2}-2\alpha}_{2,1}(\mathbb R^d) and b0b_0 in B˚2,11+d2α(Rd) \mathring B^{1+\frac{d}{2}-\alpha}_{2,1}(\mathbb R^d) guarantees the existence and uniqueness. These regularity requirements appear to be optimal.
