The Tricomi equation $ yu_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0 $ was established in 1923 by Tricomi who is the pioneer of parabolic elliptic and hyperbolic boundary value problems and related problems of variable type. In 1945 Frankl established a generalization of these problems for the well-known Chaplygin equation $ K(\,y)u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0 $ subject to the Frankl condition 1 + 2( K / K ')' > 0, y <0. In 1953 and 1955 Protter generalized these problems even further by improving the above Frankl condition. In 1977 we generalized these results in R n ( n > 2). In 1986 Kracht and Kreyszig discussed the Tricomi equation and transition problems. In 1993 Semerdjieva considered the hyperbolic equation $ K_1 (\,y)u_{xx} + (K_2 {\rm (\,}y{\rm )}u_y )_y + ru = f $ for y<0. In this paper we establish uniqueness of quasi-regular solutions for the Tricomi problem concerning the more general mixed type partial differential equation $ K_1 (\,y)(M_2 {\rm (}x{\rm )}u_x )_x + M_1 (x)(K_2 {\rm (\,}y{\rm )}u_y )_y + ru = f $ which is parabolic on both lines x = 0; y = 0, elliptic in the first quadrant x > 0, y > 0 and hyperbolic in both quadrants x< 0, y > 0; x > 0, y< 0. In 1999 we proved existence of weak solutions for a particular Tricomi problem. These results are interesting in fluid mechanics.
