Abstract:

In this paper, under the hypothesis that ρ is upper bounded, we construct a Lyapunov functional for the multidimensional isentropic compressible magnetohydrody-namic equations and show that the weak solutions decay exponentially to the equilibrium state in L2 norm. Our result verifies that the method of Daoyuan Fang, Ruizhao Zi and Ting Zhang [1] can be adapted to magnetohydrodynamic equations.

Key words: Navier–Stokes equations, weak solution, decay estimates, magnetohydrody-namic
