Solvability of the Tricomi problem for second order equations of mixed type with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle

In [1]–[6], the author posed and discussed the Tricomi problem of second order mixed equations, but he only consider some special mixed equations. In [3], the author discussed the uniqueness of solutions of the Tricomi problem for some second order mixed equation with nonsmooth degenerate line. The present paper deals with the Tricomi problem for general second order mixed equations with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle. I first give the formulation of the above problem, and then prove the solvability of the Tricomi problem for the mixed equations with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle, by using the existence of solutions of the mixed problem for the degenerate elliptic equations (see [11]). Here I mention that the used method in this paper is different to those in other papers or books, because I introduce the new notation (2.1) below, such that the second order equation of mixed type can be reduced to the first order complex equation of mixed type with singular coefficients, hence I can use the advantage of complex analytic method.

On Solvability of Nonlocal Problem for Loaded Parabolic-Hyperbolic Equation

We study unique solvability of a nonlocal problem for equations of mixed type in a finite domain. This equation contains the partial fractional Riemann–Liouville derivative. The boundary condition of the problem contains a linear combination of operators of fractional differentiation in the sense of Riemann–Liouville of values of function derivative on the degeneration line and generalized operators of fractional integro-differentiation in the sense of M. Saigo. The uniqueness theorem of the problem is proved by a modified Tricomi method. The existence of solutions is equivalently reduced to the solvability of Fredholm integral equation of the second kind.

On the uniqueness of generalized and quasi-regular solutions to equations of mixed type in ℝ<Superscript>3</Superscript>

Some three-dimensional (3D) problems for mixed type equations of first and second kind are studied. For equation of Tricomi type, they are 3D analogs of the Darboux (or Cauchy-Goursat) plane problem. Such type problems for a class of hyperbolic and weakly hyperbolic equations as well as for some hyperbolic-elliptic equations are formulated by M. Protter in 1952. In contrast to the well-posedness of the Darboux problem in the 2D case, the new 3D problems are strongly ill-posed. A similar statement of 3D problem for Keldysh-type equations is also given. For mixed type equations of Tricomi and Keldysh type, we introduce the notion of generalized or quasi-regular solutions and find sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of such solutions to the Protter’s problems. The dependence of lower order terms is also studied.

Oblique derivative problems for second order nonlinear equations of mixed type with degenerate hyperbolic curve

The present paper deals with oblique derivative problems for second order nonlinear equations of mixed type with degenerate hyperbolic curve, which include the Tricomi problem as a special case. Firstly the formulation of the problems for the equations is given, next the representation and estimates of solutions for the above problems are obtained, finally the existence of solutions for the problems is proved by the successive iteration of solutions of the equations and the fixed-point principle. In this paper, we use the complex analytic method, namely the new partial derivative notations, elliptic complex functions in the elliptic domain and hyperbolic complex functions in the hyperbolic domain are introduced, such that the second order equations of mixed type with degenerate curve are reduced to the first order mixed complex equations with singular coefficients, and then the advantage of complex analytic method can be applied.

Uniqueness of Quasi-Regular Solutions for a Bi-Parabolic Elliptic Bi-Hyperbolic Tricomi Problem

The Tricomi equation $ yu_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0 $ was established in 1923 by Tricomi who is the pioneer of parabolic elliptic and hyperbolic boundary value problems and related problems of variable type. In 1945 Frankl established a generalization of these problems for the well-known Chaplygin equation $ K(\,y)u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0 $ subject to the Frankl condition 1 + 2( K / K ')' > 0, y <0. In 1953 and 1955 Protter generalized these problems even further by improving the above Frankl condition. In 1977 we generalized these results in R n ( n > 2). In 1986 Kracht and Kreyszig discussed the Tricomi equation and transition problems. In 1993 Semerdjieva considered the hyperbolic equation $ K_1 (\,y)u_{xx} + (K_2 {\rm (\,}y{\rm )}u_y )_y + ru = f $ for y<0. In this paper we establish uniqueness of quasi-regular solutions for the Tricomi problem concerning the more general mixed type partial differential equation $ K_1 (\,y)(M_2 {\rm (}x{\rm )}u_x )_x + M_1 (x)(K_2 {\rm (\,}y{\rm )}u_y )_y + ru = f $ which is parabolic on both lines x = 0; y = 0, elliptic in the first quadrant x > 0, y > 0 and hyperbolic in both quadrants x< 0, y > 0; x > 0, y< 0. In 1999 we proved existence of weak solutions for a particular Tricomi problem. These results are interesting in fluid mechanics.
