Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of time-periodic solutions to incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. Our approach combines energy estimates with topological degree theory, and our result follows from a limiting process. The main difficulty is to prove the compactness and continuity for a key operator $\Lambda$ given in Definition 2.1, the proof is based on parabolic regularization.
