The author analyzes the Cauchy problem for the system of isentropic gas dynamics equations in Lagrangian coordinates. Such a system is considered in the case of being genuinely nonlinear in Lax's sense and strictly hyperbolic. An extra condition on the pressure implies that the solution to the associated Riemann problem may contain the vacuum (specific volume \(v=\infty\)). Two initial flow conditions are studied, rarefaction waves and compressive waves being the basic question how the vacuum can be attained in the solution. Some extensions to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws are considered. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00036].
