Abstract
In this paper, we prove the global well-posedness of the incompressible magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) equations near a homogeneous equilibrium in the domain \(\mathbb{R}^k\times\mathbb{T}^{d-k},d\geqslant2,k\geqslant1\) by using the comparison principle and constructing the comparison function.
