Non-characteristic. The first-order principal symbol is , which equals one on .
Set . The equation is equivalent to . Because is continuously differentiable, the Cauchy-Riemann equations imply that it is a holomorphic function of . Its convergent complex Taylor series restricts to a real power series along , so is a real analytic function.
For smooth-data instability of the Cauchy-Riemann Cauchy problem, choose
These are entire functions and satisfy the equation. Their initial derivatives obey , so every finite sum tends to zero. But
Thus analytic solutions can exist while continuous dependence on initial data fails for this smooth-data topology.
The Cauchy estimate follows directly from the differentiated Cauchy integral formula:
The circle has length , giving the bound for every integer .
Put and integrate on the straight segment . For fixed , a disc centred at with radius approaching stays inside . Applying the first-derivative Cauchy estimate there gives
Integrating its modulus and taking the supremum over is exactly the asserted integral estimate. The source cancels from .
To obtain a contraction mapping, use the weighted holomorphic norm on a shrinking time domain. Its finite-norm space consists of holomorphic functions on with zero initial value; the apparent quotient at is interpreted by a limit. Completeness follows because convergence in this norm implies locally uniform convergence of holomorphic functions, including near , and the limiting pointwise bounds give convergence in the norm.
Here is the explicit contraction estimate on a shrinking holomorphic domain. Write , , , and choose
Then and . The whole auxiliary polydisc lies inside , and its supremum of is at most . Consequently
Thus . Choose . The source is bounded on the closed polydisc, say by , and . Therefore maps the Banach space into itself and is a strict contraction mapping. The Banach fixed-point theorem gives a holomorphic fixed point with . Differentiating the integral identity yields , establishing this case of the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem.
Finally, near each real initial point, a real analytic function has a holomorphic extension . Apply the same construction to with and source , restricting the discs if necessary. This gives a local real analytic function of with the prescribed initial value. Equivalently the solution is wherever the extension is defined.
For the period lattice , define the Weierstrass elliptic function by
To prove Normal convergence of the Weierstrass elliptic-function series, let be compact and choose with on . For ,
The comparison series converges by the stated lattice-sum criterion. The Weierstrass M-test gives uniform convergence on ; since was arbitrary, the series converges locally uniformly away from . The locally uniform convergence of holomorphic functions makes its sum holomorphic there, and the displayed principal term gives a double pole at every lattice point.
The function is even and satisfies
The three nonzero two-torsion points are distinct modulo and each equals its own negative modulo . Therefore no two can have the same -value, so are distinct. Equivalently, is a degree-two branched map and each half-lattice point already occupies its fiber with multiplicity two.
For a transitive example, take the equianharmonic lattice
and define . Multiplication by preserves , so is a conformal equivalence. On the nonzero half-lattice points it acts by
because . Thus it acts transitively.
For ,
On every compact subset of , the terms are bounded by a convergent series . The Weierstrass M-test gives locally uniform convergence, and the theorem on locally uniform convergence of holomorphic functions shows that the limit is an analytic function. Hence is analytic throughout .
Let and . The displayed norm makes the holomorphic functions with finite norm a Banach space. Finiteness forces : for fixed , the weight grows like near zero. A Cauchy sequence in this norm converges uniformly on every compact subset of , including at . Its limit is holomorphic by locally uniform convergence of holomorphic functions, and the pointwise norm bounds show convergence in the original norm. The shrinking domain compensates for loss of an -derivative in a Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem argument.
