Abstract: We are concerned with global finite-energy solutions of the three-dimensional compressible Euler-Poisson equations with {it gravitational potential} and {it general pressure law}, especially including the constitutive equation of {it white dwarf stars}. In this paper, we construct global finite-energy solutions with spherical symmetry of the Cauchy problem for the Euler-Poisson equations as the inviscid limit of the corresponding compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations. The strong convergence of the vanishing viscosity solutions is achieved through entropy analysis, uniform estimates in Lp, and a more general compensated compactness framework via several new main ingredients. A key estimate is first established for the integrability of the density over unbounded domains independent of the vanishing viscosity coefficient. Then a special entropy pair is carefully designed via solving a Goursat problem for the entropy equation such that a higher integrability of the velocity is established, which is a crucial step. Moreover, the weak entropy kernel for the general pressure law and its fractional derivatives of the required order near vacuum (ho=0) and far-field (ho=infty) are carefully analyzed. Owing to the generality of the pressure law, only the Wmathrmloc1,p-compactness of weak entropy dissipation measures with pin[1,2) can be obtained; this is rescued by the equi-integrability of weak entropy pairs which can be established by the estimates obtained above, so that the div-curl lemma still applies. Finally, based on the above analysis of weak entropy pairs, the Lp compensated compactness framework for the compressible Euler equations with general pressure law is established. This new compensated compactness framework and the techniques developed in this paper should be useful for solving further nonlinear problems with similar features.
