Abstract

The main contribution of this paper is to provide a complete proof of the global weak entropy solution existence of the Cauchy problem for the Euler equations of one-dimensional compressible fluid flow and to correct the mistakes in the paper “Global weak solutions of the one-dimensional hydrodynamic model for semiconductors” (Math. Mod. Meth. Appl. Sci., 6(1993), 759–788). Our technique is the method of the artificial viscosity coupled with the theory of compensated compactness, where four families of Lax entropy-entropy flux pair are constructed by means of the classical Fuchsian equation.
