A differential equation of the form

$$yu_{xx}+u_{yy}=0,$$

which is a simple model of a second-order partial differential equation of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type with two independent variables $x,y$ and one open non-characteristic interval of parabolic degeneracy. The Tricomi equation is elliptic for $y>0$, hyperbolic for $y<0$ and degenerates to an equation of parabolic type on the line $y=0$ (see [1]). The Tricomi equation is a prototype of the Chaplygin equation

$$k(y)u_{xx}+u_{yy}=0,$$

where $u=u(x,y)$ is the stream function of a plane-parallel steady-state gas flow, $k(y)$ and $y$ are functions of the velocity of the flow, which are positive at subsonic and negative at supersonic speeds, and $x$ is the angle of inclination of the velocity vector (see [2] [3]).

Many important problems in the mechanics of continuous media reduce to a boundary value problem for the Tricomi equation, in particular, mixed flows involving the formation of local subsonic zones (see [3], [4]).
