GLOBAL EXISTENCE OF STRONG SOLUTIONS TO INCOMPRESSIBLE MHD

We establish the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to the initial boundary value problem for the incompressible MHD equations in bounded smooth domains of R-3 under some suitable smallness conditions. The initial density is allowed to have vacuum, in particular, it can vanish in a set of positive Lebessgue measure. More precisely, under the assumption that the production of the quantities parallel to root rho(0)u(0)parallel to(2)(L2(Omega)) + parallel to H-0 parallel to(2)(L2(Omega)) and parallel to del u(0)parallel to(2)(L2(Omega)) + parallel to del H-0 parallel to(2)(L(2 Omega)) is suitably small, with the smallness depending only on the bound of the initial density and the domain, we prove that there is a unique strong solution to the Dirichlet problem of the incompressible MHD system.
