Singularity formation for radially symmetric expanding wave of Compressible Euler Equations

Abstract: In this paper, for compressible Euler equations in multiple space dimensions, we prove the break-down of classical solutions with a large class of initial data by tracking the propagation of radially symmetric expanding wave including compression. The singularity formation is corresponding to the finite time shock formation. We also provide some new global sup-norm estimates on velocity and density functions for classical solutions. The results in this paper have no restriction on the size of solutions, hence are large data results.
