Abstract

Although the study of mixed elliptic–hyperbolic equations goes back at least toRiemann’s computation of the Laplacian in toroidal coordinates (c.f. [47] or p. 461, (B) of [7]), the first systematic study of well-posedness for boundary value problemsappears to be the memoir by Tricomi [50]
