Abstract. This paper deals with the Tricomi problem for the Lavrent'ev-Bitsadze equation for the special case in which the elliptic part of the domain is a semi-disk. The connections amongst values of solutions of the Tricomi problem for the Lavrent'ev--Bitsadze equation on the characteristics in the hyperbolic part of the mixed domain are investigated. Inversion formulas for some integral operators are obtained. It is shown that Gellerstedt problems can be reduced to the Tricomi problem. Henceforth, two theorems and one corollary are obtained for the problem under consideration.
