The mollified equation of lem:aniso:comparison #
Mollifying eq:aniso:comparison:equation in space turns a bounded distributional solution
into the pointwise-in-space identity eq:aniso:comparison:mollified,
∂_τ q_ε + B·∇q_ε = Δ_X q_ε + R_ε,
where q_ε = η_ε * q is the spatial mollification of q and R_ε is the commutator of
DiPerna and Lions. This module proves that identity in the form in which the distributional
hypothesis delivers it: for every scalar test function χ of time supported in I,
∫ q_ε(x, τ) (-χ'(τ)) dτ = ∫ χ(τ) (Δ_X q_ε - ∇q_ε·B + R_ε)(x, τ) dτ.
The proof tests the distributional equation with the product φ(y, τ) = η_ε(x - y) χ(τ),
computes the three derivatives of φ in closed form, exchanges the order of integration,
and reassembles the drift and divergence contributions into the explicit integral form of
diPernaLionsCommutator by adding and subtracting B(x, τ)·∇q_ε(x, τ).

On a time slice on which q is bounded and the drift obeys eq:aniso:comparison:drift,
