We study the relativistic Euler equations for isentropic fluids with a general equation of state $p=p(\rho)$ satisfying the genuine nonlinearity condition. For the $\gamma$-law case $(1<\gamma<2)$, we establish an existence theorem for global entropy solutions to the Cauchy problem using the Glimm difference scheme. For general pressure, the nonlinear elementary waves and Riemann problem are also studied.
Keywords: Glimm Scheme, Riemann problem, Lorentz transformation, entropy solutions, isentropic fluids, Relativistic Euler equations.
