Abstract
This paper is concerned with an initial boundary value problem in one-dimensional
magnetohydrodynamics. We prove the global existence, uniqueness, and stability of strong
solutions for the planar magnetohydrodynamic equations for isentropic compressible fluids in the
case that vacuum can be allowed initially.
