Formation of delta shocks and vacuum states in the vanishing pressure limit of Riemann solutions to the perturbed Aw-Rascle model (Q615964)

The authors consider a \(2\times 2\) system of conservation laws, which is an perturbation of the pressureless gas dynamics system. Particularly, they study the limiting behavior of the solutions of the Riemann problems. It is proved that for the system of the perturbed Aw-Rascle model, the limits of its Riemann solution are the Riemann solution of the pressureless gas dynamics with same initial data. In the meantime, the formation of delta-shocks and vacuum are also discussed.
