The magnetic field is tangent and the total pressure vanishes along the plasma-vacuum interface. Under the Taylor sign condition of the total pressure on the free surface, we prove the local well-posedness of the problem in Sobolev spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-22T15:18:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35L65", "35Q35", "76B03", "76W05" ], "keywords": [ "free-surface incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations", "construction", "free boundary problem", "total pressure vanishes", "taylor sign condition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
