Abstract

In this paper, we prove the global existence and the large time decay estimate of solutions to the two-dimensional MHD boundary layer equations with small initial data, which is analytical in the tangential variable. The main idea of the proof is motivated by that of [28]. The additional difficulties are: 1. There appears the magnetic field; 2. The far field here depends on the tangential variable; 3. The Reynolds number is different from magnetic Reynolds number. In particular, we solved an open question in [33] concerning the large time existence of analytical solutions to the MHD boundary layer equations.
