1. Introduction and main result
In this paper, we are concerned with the study on the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Hall-MHD system with fractional magnetic diffusion:
[TABLE]
where and represent the flow velocity vector and the magnetic field vector respectively, is a scalar pressure, while and are the given initial velocity and initial magnetic field with . The Hall term plays an important role in magnetic reconnection which is happening in the case of large magnetic shear. The fractional Laplacian operator is defined in terms of the Fourier transform by .
The applications of the Hall-MHD system cover a very wide range of physical objects, such as, in the magnetic reconnection in space plasmas, the star formation, neutron stars and geo-dynamos.
Recently, there are many researches on the standard Hall-MHD equations with and , concerning global weak solutions [1], local and global (small) strong solutions [2, 3], and the large time behavior of weak and strong solutions [4, 5, 6, 7]. For the system (1.1), Chae, Wan and Wu [8] proved the local existence and uniqueness of the solution to the Hall-MHD equations with only a fractional Laplacian magnetic diffusion in the space for and . To the knowledge of the author, there are few results on continuous dependence upon the initial data for the Hall-MHD system. Therefore, the purpose of our paper is to discuss the continuous dependence of solutions on the initial data in (1.1) and give a precise estimate.
Our argument can state as follows:
