Global stability for the compressible isentropic magnetohydrodynamic equations in 3D bounded domains with Navier-slip boundary conditions

Abstract: We study the global stability of large solutions to the compressible isentropic magnetohydrodynamic equations in a three-dimensional (3D) bounded domain with Navier-slip boundary conditions. It is shown that the solutions converge to an equilibrium state exponentially in the $L^2$-norm provided the density is essentially uniform-in-time bounded from above. Moreover, we also obtain that the density and magnetic field converge to their equilibrium states exponentially in the $L^\infty$-norm if additionally the initial density is bounded away from zero. These greatly improve the previous work in (J. Differential Equations 288 (2021), 1-39), where the authors considered the torus case and required the $L^6$-norm of the magnetic field to be uniformly bounded as well as zero initial total momentum and an additional restriction $2\mu>\lambda$ for the viscous coefficients. This paper provides the first global stability result for large strong solutions of compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in 3D general bounded domains.
