In the flattened coordinates, and . The transformed formal adjoint consequently has coefficients obtained from finitely many real analytic coefficient pullbacks and polynomial factors. They have uniform analyticity bounds on a fixed small ball. By the preceding non-characteristic argument, its coefficient of has modulus bounded away from zero there, uniformly for small . Division by it preserves uniform real analytic bounds.
The transformed forcing has analogous bounds, with constants that may depend on . Apply the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem in normal form with zero normal data through order at . The supplied majorant series radius result yields a common solution radius for all sufficiently small parameters. Tangential differentiation of zero normal data shows that the entire boundary jet through order is zero; changing coordinates preserves this vanishing.
For in the closed cap, and . Choose so small that , with a strict margin. The whole closed cap then lies in the common real analytic solution neighborhood. Pulling the solution back proves
In fact is real analytic on a neighborhood of its closure, which is useful for the boundary integration below.
