Abstract

This paper establishes the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions in Hs for s>n/2 to the viscous, non-resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in Rn, n=2, 3, as well as for a related model where the advection terms are removed from the velocity equation. The uniform bounds required for proving existence are established by means of a new estimate, which is a partial generalisation of the commutator estimate of Kato and Ponce (1988) [13].
