Non-strict generators by clamping #
A non-strict Archimedean generator φ has a finite value φ(0) = a; its pseudo-inverse is
ψ(t) = F(min t a), where F is the inverse of φ on [0, a] (Nelsen, An Introduction to
Copulas, second edition, Definition 4.1.1 and Theorem 4.1.4). This file packages the
verification that such a clamped function is an admissible bivariate inverse generator:
F convex and antitone on [0, a] with F a = 0 suffices, because t ↦ min t a is concave
and a convex antitone function of a concave function is convex.
The constructor BivariateGenerator.ofClamp is used for the non-strict families 11, 18, 21
and 22 of Nelsen's Table 4.1.
A convex antitone function of a concave function is convex (sets in ℝ, with an explicit
MapsTo hypothesis instead of an image set).
Clamping a convex function that is antitone on [0, a] at a gives a convex function on
[0, ∞).
A non-strict bivariate generator from the inverse F of the generator on [0, a],
extended by zero beyond a (as F (min t a)). The generator φ must take values in
[0, a], be antitone, vanish at one, and be inverted by F.

Instances For
A clamped generator is non-strict: its pseudo-inverse vanishes from a on.
