Abstract In this paper, we give a Beale-Kato-Majda type criterion of strong solutions to the incompressible ideal MHD equations. Instead of double exponential estimates, we get a single exponential bound on (u, h)Hs (s > 52 ). It can be applied to a system of an ideal viscoelastic flow.

1 Introduction In this paper, we will get the Beale-Kato-Majda type criterion for the breakdown of smooth solutions to the incompressible ideal MHD equations in R as follows: ⎧ ⎪ ut + u · ∇u + ∇(p +  |h| ) = h · ∇h, ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨h + u · ∇h = h · ∇u, t

⎪ ⎪ ∇ · u = , ∇ · h = , ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ t = : u = u , h = h ,

()

where x ∈ R , t ≥ , u is the flow velocity, h is the magnetic field, p is the pressure, while u and h are, respectively, the given initial velocity and initial magnetic field satisfying ∇ · u = , ∇ · h = . Using the standard energy method [], it is well known that for (u , h ) ∈ H s (R ), s ≥ , there exists a T >  such that the Cauchy problem () has a unique smooth solution (u, h) on [, T] satisfying 

     u(t, x), h(t, x) ∈ C [, T]; H s ∩ C  [, T]; H s– .

Recently, Caflisch et al. [] extended the well-known result of Beale et al. [] to the D ideal MHD equations. More precisely, they showed that if the smooth solution (u, h) satisfies the following condition: 

T 



T

∇ × uL∞ dt < ∞ and

∇ × hL∞ dt < ∞,

then the solution (u, h) can be extended beyond t = T, namely, for some T  > T, (u, h) ∈ C([, T  ); H s (R )) ∩ C  ([, T  ); H s– (R )).
