Abstract

In this paper, we consider the initial-boundary value problem of the 3D density-dependent magnetohydrodynamic equations with a low-regularity initial data. Assume that the initial density $\rho_0 \geq 0$ is bounded, and the scaling invariant quantity\[{\left({\bigl\lVert \rho^{1/2}_0 u_0 \bigr\rVert}^2_{L^2} + {\bigl\lVert H_0 \bigr\rVert}^2_{L^2} \right)}{\left({\bigl\lVert \nabla u_0 \bigr\rVert}^2_{L^2} + {\bigl\lVert \nabla H_0 \bigr\rVert}^2_{L^2} \right)}\]is sufficiently small, then we prove that this system admits a unique global low-regularity solution. Here, no compatibility conditions are imposed on the initial data, and the initial density is allowed to vanish. In particular, we also obtain the exponential decay of the solution by introducing a delicate time-weighted estimate.
