Global solutions of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with large discontinuous initial data

We prove the global existence of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible, heat-conducting flow in one space dimension with large, discontinuous initial data, and we obtain a-priori estimates for these solutions which are independent of time, sufficient to determine their asymp...
