Abstract:

This paper is devoted to the Tricomi problem for a mixed type equation of second order. The coefficients are assumed  to be discontinuous on the line where the type is changed.  The unique existence of the  solution to the problem is proved if the domain is small enough. Correspondingly, some estimates on the solution is also
established.

Key words: mixed type equation, Tricomi problem, Riemann function
