Review text

The role of exact solutions of some linear partial differential euqations (PDEs) of mixed type, equations having subelliptic and degenerate elliptic operators, and degenerate hyperbolic equations are discussed. Operators of mixed type are represented by the Tricomi operator \(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_1^2}+x_1\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_2^2}\) and transport operators like Kolmogorov's operator \(\left(\frac{\partial}{\partial x_1}\right)^2- bx_1\frac{\partial} {\partial x_2}-c\frac{\partial}{\partial x_1}\). Examples of the considered hypoelliptic operators are \(\frac{\partial^2} {\partial x_1^2}+ \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_2^2}+ x_1^2\frac{\partial^2} {\partial x_3^2}\) and \(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_1^2}+ \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_2^2}+ (x_1^2+ x_2^2)\frac{\partial^2} {\partial x_3^2}\). For the degenerate hyperbolic operator of the form \(\frac {\partial^ 2}{\partial t^2}-t^{2k-2}\sum_{i=1}^{m}\frac{\partial^2} {\partial x_i^2}\), where \(k=2,3,\ldots\) and \(m\) is even the fundamental solution is derived. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1005.00051].
