Abstract

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.
