The structure of red giant stars allows non-radial oscillation modes which propagate as p-modes near the surface, to propagate below the convection zone as g-modes with very high radial wave number [Dziembowski (1971, 1977), Shibahashi and Osaki (1976)]. Under some conditions the oscillations in these two propagation regions can be treated as virtually independent normal modes [Shibahashi and Osaki (1976)]. This paper examines the situation in which this approximation is not good, and discusses possible observational consequences of the interaction of the two propagation regions.

The linearized differential equations describing non-radial adiabatic oscillations in stars can be written in the form, 1a1b
