On Moffatt’s Magnetic Relaxation Equations

We investigate the stability properties for a family of equations introduced by Moffatt to model magnetic relaxation. These models preserve the topology of magnetic streamlines, contain a cubic nonlinearity, and yet have a favorable L 2 energy structure. We consider the local and global in time well...

Zusammenfassung:We investigate the stability properties for a family of equations introduced by Moffatt to model magnetic relaxation. These models preserve the topology of magnetic streamlines, contain a cubic nonlinearity, and yet have a favorable L 2 energy structure. We consider the local and global in time well-posedness of these models and establish a difference between the behavior as t → ∞ with respect to weak and strong norms.
