A NONLOCAL PROBLEM FOR A HYPERBOLIC EQUATION WITH A DOMINANT MIXED DERIVATIVE

Abstract

In this article, we consider the Goursat problem with nonlocal integral conditions for a hyperbolic equation with a dominant mixed derivative. Research methods of solvability of classical boundary value problems for partial differential equations cannot be applied without serious modifications. The choice of a research method of solvability of a nonlocal problem depends on the form of the integral condition. In the process of developing methods that are effective for nonlocal problems, integral conditions of various types were identified [1]. The solvability of the nonlocal Goursat problem with integral conditions of the first kind for a general equation with dominant mixed derivative of the second order was investigated in [2]. In our problem, the integral conditions are nonlocal conditions of the second kind, therefore, to investigate the solvability of the problem, we propose another method, which consists in reducing the stated nonlocal problem to the classical Goursat problem, but for a loaded equation. In this article, we obtain conditions that guarantee the existence of a unique solution of the problem. The main instrument of the proof is the a priori estimates obtained in the paper.
