Set and . Both are symmetric in . For fixed apply the entropy inequality for at the constant level with test , then integrate over . This produces
Here the first integral is over both time-space pairs and the second over the three remaining variables. Repeat with , level , integrating over , to obtain the analogous terms with and initial value .
Adding and using symmetry gives
where and . All integrals are finite on the test's compact support because the states are bounded. The levels being inserted are constants relative to the variables in each entropy inequality; there is no differentiation of the merely measurable other solution. Fubini's theorem and continuity of justify the integration. This is doubling of variables for scalar conservation laws.
