Local well-posedness to the 2D Cauchy problem of full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with vacuum at infinity

This paper concerns the Cauchy problem of two-dimensional (2D) full compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in the whole plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ with zero density at infinity. By spatial weighted energy method, we derive the local existence and uniqueness of strong solutions provided that the initial density and the initial magnetic field decay not too slowly at infinity. Note that the initial temperature does not need to decay slowly at infinity. In particular, vacuum states at both the interior domain and the far field are allowed.
