Abstract
The question of whether the two-dimensional (2D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with only magnetic diffusion can develop a finite-time singularity from smooth initial data is a challenging open problem in fluid dynamics and mathematics. In this paper, we derive a regularity criterion less restrictive than the Beale–Kato–Majda (BKM) regularity criterion type, namely any solution with remains in up to time under the assumption that
This regularity criterion may stand as a great improvement over the usual BKM regularity criterion, which states that if then the solution with remains in up to time . Furthermore, our result applies also to a class of equations arising in hydrodynamics and studied by Elgindi and Masmoudi (2014) for their ill-posedness.
