In this paper we consider in the entire plane R 2 a classical solution of the nonstationary Euler equation for an ideal incompressible fluid and a classical solution of the nonstationary Navier-Stokes equation for a viscous incompressible fluid depending on viscosity v as parameter. We prove that, for any time 0< T< or, as viscosity tends to zero the viscous velocity and vorticity converge uniformly on Qr= R 2 x [0, T] to the ideal velocity and vorticity respectively. In the entire plane the existence and uniqueness of classical solutions have been proved by WOLmNEg [6] for the Euler velocity equation and by LBRAY [5] for the Navier-Stokes velocity equation. LERAY'S proof does not yield information on the behavior of his solution with viscosity. In this paper we use the stream function form of these equations and the Schauder fixed-point theorem to get new and, we believe, simpler proofs of these results. The use of the stream function equations results in stronger differentiability requirements on the data. In this paper, as well as in those of WOLmNER and LERAY, velocity is required to tend to zero at infinity. While preparing this paper for publication, a recent paper came to the attention of the author in which GOLOV~ N [2] established a convergence result similar to that below, but with different conditions to be met by the initial-velocity and external-force field and a different method of proof.
