Title: Weak Solutions to the One-dimensional Non-Isentropic Gas Dynamics
by the Vanishing Viscosity Method 

Author: Kazufumi Ito (North Carolina State Univ.)

Abstract: In this paper we consider the non-isentropic
equations of gas dynamics with the entropy preserved.
Equations are formulated so that the problem
is reduced into the 2 by 2 system of conservation laws
with a forcing term in momentum equation.
The method of compensated compactness is then applied 
to prove the existence of weak solution in the vanishing 
viscosity method.
