Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper investigates a nonlinear Bitsadze–Samarskii type boundary value problem for an elliptic-hyperbolic operator. First, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of the corresponding linear mixed-type problem using the abstract theory of correct restrictions and extensions of operators. Explicit solution formulas are obtained via Green’s function for the elliptic part and integral representations for the hyperbolic part. These results are then extended to a nonlinear mixed operator of power-law type by applying a bijective transformation that reduces the nonlinear problem to the linear case. The key condition for solvability is the continuity and invertibility of a functional coefficient in the boundary condition. Our work provides a systematic framework for handling non-standard boundary conditions in mixed-type problems and highlights the role of operator-theoretic methods in nonlinear settings.
