Abstract
By introducing an isentropic Euler system with a new version of extended Chaplygin gas equation of state, we study two kinds of occurrence mechanism on the phenomenon of concentration and the formation of delta shock waves in the zero-exponent limit of solutions to the extended Chaplygin gas equations as the two exponents tend to zero wholly or partly. The Riemann problem is first solved. Then, we show that, as both the two exponents tend to zero, that is, the extended Chaplygin gas pressure tends to a constant, any two-shock-wave Riemann solution of the extended Chaplygin gas equations converges to a delta-shock solution to the zero-pressure flow system, and the intermediate density between the two shocks tends to a weighted
