Abstract. We consider a nonlocal boundary-value problem for a third-order parabolic-hyperbolic equation with degeneracy of type and order in the domain of hyperbolicity, containing second-order derivatives in the boundary conditions. Sufficient conditions of the unique solvability of the problem are obtained. The Tricomi method is used to prove the uniqueness theorem for a solution. The solution of the problem is expressed in the explicit form. Keywords and phrases: degenerate hyperbolic equation of the first kind, equation with multiple characteristics, third-order parabolic-hyperbolic equation, mixed boundary-value problem, nonlocal boundary-value problem, Tricomi problem, Tricomi method, Volterra integral equation of the second kind, Fredholm integral equation of the second kind.

Introduction. On the Euclidean plane of the points (x, y), we consider the equation  (−y)m uxx − uyy + a(−y)(m−2)/2 ux , y < 0, 0= uxxx − uy + bux , y > 0,

(1)

where u = u(x, y) is the unknown function; m, a, b = const, m > 0, and |a| ≤ m/2. Equation (1) for y < 0 coincides with the degenerate hyperbolic equation of the first kind (see [35]) (−y)m uxx − uyy + a(−y)(m−2)/2 ux = 0,

(2)

and for y > 0 ”— with the third-order equation with multiple characteristics (see [13]) uxxx − uy + bux = 0.

Equation (2) is a hyperbolic equation with parabolic degeneration of the first kind along the line y = 0. For m = 2, Eq. (2) turns into the Bitsadze–Lykova equation (see [10, 24, 26]), and for a = 0, it becomes the Gellerstedt equation, which, as was shown in [27], can be used in the problem of determining the shape of dam slots. A special case of Eq. (2) is also the Tricomi equation, which is the theoretical basis of nearsonic gas dynamics (see [9, 16]). In [35], a solution of the Cauchy problem for Eq. (2) for |a| ≤ m/2 was described. The study of the first and second Darboux problems for Eq. (2) is described in [18]. In [19], a continuity criterion for solutions of the Goursat problem for a degenerate hyperbolic equation of the form (2) was considered. Equation (3) coincides with the linearized Korteweg–de Vries equation (see [22]), which is used in important applications in problems of propagation of nonlinear waves in weakly dispersive media (see [20]). According to the classification given in [26], Eq. (3) refers to parabolic equations, whereas in [13] such equations are called third-order equations with multiple characteristics. In [12], based on methods of the theory of potentials and integral Laplace transform, boundary-value problems for Eq. (3) were studied; this problem is now called the Cattabriga problem. By using fundamental solutions obtained in [12, 13], the Green function of the Cattabriga problem for Eq. (3) was constructed, Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Seriya Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheni
