Remarks on DiPerna’s Paper “Convergence of the Viscosity Method for Isentropic Gas Dynamics”. (English) Zbl 0888.35066

Summary: Concerns have been voiced about the correctness of certain technical points in R. J. DiPerna’s paper [Commun. Math. Phys. 91, 1-30 (1983; Zbl 0533.76071)] related to the vacuum state. In this note, we provide clarifications. Our conclusion is that these concerns mainly arise from the statement of a lemma for constructing the viscous approximate solutions and some typos; however, the gap can be either fixed by correcting the statement of the lemma and the typos or bypassed by employing the finite difference methods.
