Abstract: Abstract The aim of this paper is to sketch the most important direct problems (boundary value problems and initial value problems) of linear elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic differential equations and some inverse problems corresponding to these equations. Both types of problems are divided into two classes. The first one is the class of properly posed problems, the other is the class of improperly posed problems. The Dirichlet problem for elliptic equations and parabolic equations and the Cauchy problem for hyperbolic equations are properly posed problems, the Dirichlet problem for hyperbolic equations and the inverse problem for the Laplace equation and the heat equation are improperly posed problems. There exist also inverse (improperly posed) problems concerning hyperbolic equations.
