Abstract

In this article, we consider the one-dimensional zero-pressure gas dynamics system ut+(u2/2)x=0, ρt+(ρu)x=0 u_t + \left( {u^2}/{2} \right)_x = 0,\ \rho_t + (\rho u)_x = 0 in the upper-half plane with a linear combination of two δ\delta-distributions ut=0=ua δx=a+ub δx=b, ρt=0=ρc δx=c+ρd δx=d u|_{t=0} = u_a\ \delta_{x=a} + u_b\ \delta_{x=b},\ \rho|_{t=0} = \rho_c\ \delta_{x=c} + \rho_d\ \delta_{x=d} as initial data. Here aa, bb, cc, dd are distinct points on the real line ordered as a<c<b<da < c < b < d. Our objective is to provide a detailed analysis of the structure of the vanishing viscosity limits of this system utilizing the corresponding modified adhesion model utϵ+((uϵ)2/2)x=ϵ2uxxϵ, ρtϵ+(ρϵuϵ)x=ϵ2ρxxϵ. u^\epsilon_t + \left({(u^\epsilon)^2}/{2} \right)_x =\frac{\epsilon}{2} u^\epsilon_{xx},\ \rho^\epsilon_t + (\rho^\epsilon u^\epsilon)_x = \frac{\epsilon}{2} \rho^\epsilon_{xx}. For this purpose, we extensively use the various asymptotic properties of the function erfc:zzes2 ds: z \longmapsto \int_{z}^{\infty} e^{-s^2}\ ds along with suitable Hopf-Cole transformations.
