Abstract

This paper concerns the Cauchy problem of the three-dimensional nonhomogeneous incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with density-dependent viscosity and vacuum. We first establish some key a priori algebraic decay-in-time rates of the strong solutions. Then after using these estimates, we also obtain the global existence and large time asymptotic behavior of strong solutions in the whole three-dimensional space, provided that the initial velocity and magnetic field are suitable small in the \(\dot{H}^{\beta }\)-norm for some \(\beta \in (1/2, 1]\). Note that any smallness and compatibility conditions assumed on the initial data are not used in this result. Moreover, the density can contain vacuum states and even have compact support initially.
