Existence of a principal eigenvalue for the Tricomi problem

The existence of a principal eigenvalue is established for the Tricomi problem in normal domains; that is, the existence of a positive eigenvalue of minimum modulus with an associated positive eigenfunction. The argument here uses prior results of the authors on the generalized solvability in weight...
