Global Small Solution to the 2D MHD System with a Velocity Damping Term

This paper studies the global well-posedness of the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system with a velocity damping term. We establish the global existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions when the initial data is close to an equilibrium state. In addition, explicit large-time decay rates for various Sobolev norms of the solutions are also given.
