Under study are approximate solutions to the Tricomi problem for the Lavrent'ev--Bitsadze equation \[ \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} + \text{sign} y\;\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} = 0 \] in a domain \(D\) bounded in the upper half-plane \(y > 0\) by a smooth Jordan curve with endpoints \(A(0,0)\), \(B(1,0)\) and in the lower half-plane \(y < 0\) by the characteristics of the equation (\(AC : x + y = 0\) and \(BC : x - y = 1\)). The author studies the convergence of approximate solutions to an exact solution for the Tricomi problem. Then an estimate is established for the error and the convergence rate of the solution to a difference analog of the above-mentioned equation.
