Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional pressureless Euler–Poisson system, which describes dust stars with density being a finite Radon measure. For this Cauchy problem, we introduce three generalized potentials to establish a representation formula for entropy solutions, and prove the uniqueness of entropy solutions via the variational principle and the method of generalized characteristics. Furthermore, we employ this newly derived formula to analyze the asymptotic behavior of entropy solutions: For the initial data \((\rho_0,u_0)\) with finite Radon measure density \(\rho_0\,({\not\equiv 0})\) and bounded velocity \(u_0\) , we prove that the entropy solutions always decay to a single \(\delta\) -shock by showing that any two \(\delta\) -shocks must coincide with each other outside a finite time interval; in particular, it is interesting that, for the initial density with a nonempty compact support, the entropy solution will turn into a \(\delta\) -shock wave in finite time, after which this \(\delta\) -shock wave will propagate linearly despite the characteristics in general are parabolas.
