Abstract

The problems below are motivated by some of the works I did in the past. They deal with the dynamics of compressible fluids, either viscous or inviscid. They could be good questions for mathematicians having originality and technical strength. They are not worth a million dollars, even not a penny, but they are interesting in their own.

Keywords

Euler equations, shock waves, vacuum, compensated compactness
