    The author considers \(N\)-branes in a Schwarzschild-AdS\(_{(n+2)}\) bulk, where the stress-energy tensor is dominated by the energy density of a scalar fields map. It is shown that by choosing the radial coordinate as embedding parameter it is possible to transform the field equation of the brane near the singularity to obtain a new equation which is smooth across the singularity and has smooth solutions which are uniquely determined by given initial values at the singularity.
