A smooth convex profile vanishing on the nonpositive half-line #
The energy of the comparison argument of lem:aniso:comparison measures the excess of the
mollified solution over the barrier through a profile G applied pointwise. The manuscript uses
G(y) = (y₊)² (eq:aniso:comparison:positive:energy); here G is the primitive
G(y) = ∫₀^y smoothTransition of Mathlib's smooth monotone transition function. It has the three
properties the argument uses of (y₊)²: it vanishes exactly on (-∞, 0], it is convex with
0 ≤ G' ≤ 1, and it is smooth, so that G ∘ w is an admissible test function whenever w is
smooth with w < 0 off a compact set.
The last part of the file is the chain rule for G along a primitive c + ∫ₐᵗ h of an
integrable function, obtained from absolute continuity.
The comparison profile G(y) = ∫₀^y smoothTransition.

Instances For
G is 1-Lipschitz, since 0 ≤ G' ≤ 1.
Chain rule for G along a primitive: if h is integrable on [a, b], then
G(c + ∫ₐᵇ h) = G(c) + ∫ₐᵇ G'(c + ∫ₐˢ h) h(s) ds.
