By quasi-robustness we mean that, under suitable regularity assumptions on the solution, the method admits error estimates that remain uniform with respect to large fluid and magnetic Reynolds numbers, in a norm that also captures convection effects. Both methods rely on an $H({\rm div})$-conforming discretization for the fluid velocity, coupled with a suitable pressure space ensuring an exact sequence property, and on $H^1$-conforming finite elements for the magnetic field. Robustness with respect to convection is achieved through the use of DG-type upwind terms and continuous interior penalty (CIP) stabilizations. The two formulations differ in the strategy adopted to enforce the divergence-free constraint on the magnetic field. In the first approach, a three-field formulation, this constraint is imposed via grad–div stabilization. In the second, a four-field formulation, it is enforced by introducing an additional Lagrange multiplier together with suitable stabilization terms. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate and support the theoretical results. \end{document}
