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.
Write . The Taylor series of the cosine is
After expanding each power by the multinomial theorem, the coefficient of has absolute value when is even and is zero when is odd. The hyperbolic cosine
therefore has exactly the absolute values of the coefficients of . Thus is an entire majorant series for .
