Abstract

This paper investigates the global well-posedness and the stability of perturbations near a background magnetic field on the 2D incompressible anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic equations. More precisely, we consider the system with partial mixed velocity dissipations and horizontal magnetic diffusion. Two goals are achieved. First, we obtain the global well-posedness and the \(H^2\)-stability for the nonlinear MHD equations. The approach is to apply the bootstrapping argument. Efforts are devoted to the a priori estimate of a energy functional. Second, we establish the long-time behavior of explicit decay rates of the solution in homogeneous Sobolev spaces \(\dot{H}^s\) for the linear system under the suitable assumptions for the initial data. Our work proves that any perturbations near a background magnetic field remain asymptotically stable.
