Abstract
We give a simpler proof of Vishik's nonuniqueness Theorem for the forced 2D Euler equation in the vorticity class with . The main simplification is an alternative construction of a smooth and compactly supported unstable vortex, which is split into two steps: Firstly, we construct a piecewise constant unstable vortex, and secondly, we find a regularization through a fixed point argument. This simpler structure of the unstable vortex yields a simplification of the other parts of Vishik's proof.
