Abstract

We revisit the 2D Cauchy problem of nonhomogeneous heat conducting magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For the initial density allowing vacuum at infinity, we derive the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions provided that the initial density and the initial magnetic decay not too slowly at infinity. In particular, the initial data can be arbitrarily large. This improves our previous work where the initial density has non-vacuum states at infinity. The result could also be viewed as an extension of the study in L{ü}-Xu-Zhong for the inhomogeneous case to the full inhomogeneous situation. The method is based on delicate spatial weighted estimates and the structural characteristic of the system under consideration. As a byproduct, we get the global existence of strong solutions to the 2D Cauchy problem for nonhomogeneous heat conducting Navier-Stokes equations with vacuum at infinity.
