Abstract

This paper derives regularity criteria for the generalized magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations, a system of equations resulting from replacing the Laplacian −Δ in the usual MHD equations by a fractional Laplacian (−Δ)α. These criteria impose assumptions on the velocity field u alone and sharpen a result of He and Xin (20059. He , C. , Xin , Z. ( 2005 ). On the regularity of weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations . J. Differential Equations 213 : 235 – 254 .

). In addition, these criteria apply to the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations and improve some existing results.
