A stabilization method for the Tricomi problem (Q2639245): Difference between revisions

Summary: We prove the existence of a generalized solution of the Tricomi problem for the equation \[ L_ 0[u]=T[u]+\lambda \ell (u):=yu_{xx}+u_{yy}+\lambda \ell (u)=f, \] where \(\ell =\alpha^ 1\partial /\partial x+\alpha^ 2\partial /\partial y\) is a special differential operator and \(\lambda\geq 0\) is a constant. Then we show the solvability of an initial boundary value problem for the evolution equation \(L[u]=T[u]+\partial \ell (u)/\partial t=F\) by an approximation method. It is shown that the generalized solution of the evolution problem converges to the generalized solution of the Tricomi problem \(T[u]=f\) as \(t\to \infty\). The rate of convergence is estimated.
