Extended crystal PDE'S stability, II: The extended crystal MHD-PDE'S
This paper is the second part of a work devoted to the algebraic topological characterization of PDE's stability, and its relationship with an important class of PDE's called extended crystals PDE's in the sense introduced in [A. Prastaro, Extended crystal PDE's (submitted for publication)]. In fact, their integral bordism groups can be considered as extensions of subgroups of crystallographic groups. This allows us to identify a characteristic class that measures the obstruction to the existence of global solutions. In part I [A. Prastaro, Extended crystal PDE's stability, I: The general theory, Math. Comput. Modelling, 49 (9-10) (2009) 1759-1780] we identified criteria to recognize PDE's that are stable (in extended Ulam sense) and in their regular smooth solutions, finite time instabilities do not occur (stable extended crystal PDE's). Here, we study in some detail, a new PDE encoding anisotropic incompressible magnetohydrodynamics. Stable extended crystal MHD-PDE's are obtained, where in their smooth solutions, instabilities do not occur in finite time. These results are considered first for systems without a body energy source, and later, by also introducing a contribution from an energy source, in order to take into account nuclear energy production. A condition in order that solutions satisfy the second principle of thermodynamics is given. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
