Stability of a Stationary Solution to a 1-D Model for the MHD

Yunhao Sun

TL;DR

The paper analyzes the stability of a 1-D magnetohydrodynamics model about the stationary state $-\\sin(\\theta)$ on the torus, proving global well-posedness for small perturbations in an anisotropic Sobolev framework. It linearizes the system into decoupled operators $L^{+}$ and $L^{-}$ and controls nonlinear interactions through detailed energy estimates and a bootstrapping strategy, handling the zero-vortex-stretch case ($q=0$) and the vortex-stretch regime with $0<q<1/4$. The core contributions are (i) a rigorous decomposition into $Y=Z_1\\oplus\\mathcal{H}$ with operator structure that yields exponential decay in the $\\mathcal{H}_0$-seminorm, and (ii) global-in-time stability results for both $q=0$ and small $q$ via precise bounds on nonlinear terms $N_1,N_2$ and the auxiliary operator $Q$. This work extends De Gregorio-type stability results to a 1-D MHD setting, highlighting robustness of the ground-state to vortex-stretching perturbations and providing a blueprint for stability analyses of related 1-D MHD/Euler models.

Abstract

We investigate the stability of a one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics model (1-D MHD) with mixed vortex stretching effects, introduced by Dai, Vyas, and Zhang. Using techniques similar to those developed by Lei, Liu, and Ren for the De Gregorio equation, we establish global-in-time well-posedness for initial data near a stationary point. Our result is analogous to the exponential stability of the ground state of the De Gregorio equation.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Consider the 1-D MHD in the case $a=1$, $p = 1$, $q=0$, the stable in time solution $\Omega = -\sin(\theta)$ and $U = \sin(\theta)$, and the weighted Sobolev space $\mathcal{H}$ defined above. Given any mean zero $H^2$ initial data $\omega^\pm_0$ close enough to $\Omega$ in $\mathcal{H}$, i.e., with
