Gevrey class regularity of the magnetohydrodynamics equations

Abstract

AbstractIn this article, we use the method of Foias and Temam to show that the strong solutions of the time-dependent magnetohydrodynamics equations in a periodic domain are analytic in time with values in a Gevrey class of functions. As immediate corollaries we find that the solutions are analytic in Hr-norms and that the solutions become smooth immediately after the initial time.
