Abstract: We are concerned with the isothermal limit of entropy solutions in Linfty, containing the vacuum states, of the Euler equations for isentropic gas dynamics. We prove that the entropy solutions in Linfty of the isentropic Euler equations converge strongly to the corresponding entropy solutions of the isothermal Euler equations, when the adiabatic exponent gammaightarrow1. This is achieved by combining careful entropy analysis and refined kinetic formulation with compensated compactness argument to obtain the required uniform estimates for the limit. The entropy analysis involves careful estimates for the relation between the corresponding entropy pairs for the isentropic and isothermal Euler equations when the adiabatic exponent gammao1. The kinetic formulation for the entropy solutions of the isentropic Euler equations with the uniformly bounded initial data is refined, so that the total variation of the dissipation measures in the formulation is locally uniformly bounded with respect to gamma>1. The explicit asymptotic analysis of the Riemann solutions containing the vacuum states is also presented.
