Tricomi problem and integral equations

Abstract

   Formulas for inverting integral equations that arise when studying the Tricomi problem for the Lavrentyev–Bitsadze equation were derived. Solvability conditions of an auxiliary overdetermined problem in the elliptic part of the mixed domain were found using the Green function method. A connection was established between the Green functions of the Dirichlet problem and problem N for the Laplace equation in the form of integral equations mutually inverting each other. Various integral equations were considered, including explicitly solvable ones, to which the Tricomi problem can be reduced. An explicit solution of the characteristic singular equation with a Cauchy kernel was obtained without involving the theory of boundary value problems for analytic functions.
