Non-uniqueness of admissible weak solutions to the Riemann problem for isentropic Euler equations

摘要

We study the Riemann problem for multidimensional compressible isentropic Euler equations. Using the framework developed in Chiodaroli et al (2015 Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 68 1157-90), and based on the techniques of De Lellis and Szekelyhidi (2010 Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 195 225-60), we extend the results of Chiodaroli and Kreml (2014 Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 214 1019-49) and prove that it is possible to characterize a set of Riemann data, giving rise to a self-similar solution consisting of one admissible shock and one rarefaction wave, for which the problem also admits infinitely many admissible weak solutions.
