Abstract: In this paper, the authors consider the expansion problem of a wedge of gas into vacuum for the two-dimensional Euler equations in isothermal flow. By the bootstrapping argument, they prove the global existence of the smooth solution through the direct method in the case $0<\theta\leq\ov{\theta}=\arctan{\frac{1}{\sqrt{{2+\sqrt{5}}}}}$, where $\theta$ is the half angle of the wedge. Furthermore, they get the uniform $ C^{ 1,1}$ estimates of the solution to the expansion problem.
