The ill-prepared linear problem 193
Let us now sum up the above construction in order to state (and prove) the
analog of Lemma 7.1, page 164. We are going to define the approximation
v

app
= v
0,int

such that there is a smooth function v
exp
, exponentially decreasing near ∂Ω,
satisfying
div(v
ε
app
− v
exp
) = 0 and (v
ε
app
− v
exp
)
|∂Ω
=0.
Let us give the explicit expression of each term of the decomposition (up to
the boundary layers of order 1 and more, and the exponentially decreasing
remainder). In order to do so, we need to define a one-parameter group of unit-
ary operators on L
2
we shall denote by (L(τ ))
τ∈R
. By the density Lemma 7.6,
defining (L(τ ))
τ∈R
on B will give a definition on H. So let us state, for any v ∈B,
(L(τ)v)(x

(7.4.38)
where A(ξ
h
) is defined by (7.4.7) and L
k
3
(τ) by (7.4.15).
Let us remark that when k
3
= 0, (this corresponds to the well-prepared case
studied in the previous section), we get L
k
3
= Id because in that case λ
k
3
=0.
Let us note that (L(τ))
τ∈R
is a group of unitary operators on H
s,0
for any real
number s. Moreover, the restriction of L(τ) to functions which do not depend on
the third variable (which corresponds to the well-prepared case) is the identity.
We will call the group (L(τ))
τ∈R
the Poincar´e group.
Similarly we shall need the definition of the following “Ekman operator”,
which once again we define on B:

Let us note that the restriction of E on functions which do not depend on the
third variable (which again corresponds to the well-prepared case) is
