The partition

We first note that

$\displaystyle [H_i(t'),\rho_{se}(t')]=H_i(t')\rho_{se}(t')-\rho_{se}(t')H_i(t')$

which we use to write $ \left[H_i(t),[H_i(t'),\rho_{se}(t')]\right]=$

$\displaystyle \overbrace{H_i(t)H_i(t')\rho_{se}(t')}^{A}-\underbrace{H_i(t)\rho...
...erbrace{H_i(t')\rho_{se}(t')H_i(t)}^C+\underbrace{\rho_{se}(t')H_i(t')H_i(t)}_D$

We will now proceed to treat the integration case by case.
