Near a non-characteristic plane , use the small cap . Its curved face is non-characteristic by continuity of the principal symbol. A polynomial coordinate change flattens that face. Uniform real analytic coefficient bounds and the uniform Cauchy radius for polynomial forcing solve throughout a common cap, with zero boundary jet on the curved face. The complete boundary-jet condition for formal adjoints then gives for every polynomial . Uniform approximation of gives . Repeating on the other side of the plane proves two-sided local uniqueness.
Fix the coefficient normal form and a positive analyticity exponent once and for all. If is a polynomial, its pullback is again a polynomial, with degree bounded independently of . On a fixed closed coordinate ball, its finitely many nonzero derivatives are uniformly bounded as the parameter ranges over a fixed compact small interval. Hence there is a finite such that
All higher derivatives vanish, so arbitrarily high polynomial degree causes no failure of this bound; it only changes .
The normalized forcing belongs to one common majorant class. The Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem therefore gives a radius independent of . The problem is linear with zero data, so multiplying the normalized solution by solves the original forcing without changing its radius. Choose one with the cap inside this radius. Thus
This is the uniform Cauchy radius for polynomial forcing. It asserts a common domain, not a uniform solution-amplitude bound over all polynomials.
