Pointwise identities for backward mollifications #
Constant-coefficient weak identities on an open set hold pointwise for the backward
mollifications at every point whose kernel support lies inside the set. These are the smooth
forms of the weak vorticity equation, of weak derivatives, and of the divergence and curl
constraints used in the bootstrap of thm:vorticity-regularity of the Escauriaza–Seregin–Šverák
manuscript.
A second coordinate derivative of a smooth space-time function is an iterated directional derivative.
The backward test is admissible on an open set containing the closed kernel ball.
