Nelsen's family 16 #
Nelsen, An Introduction to Copulas, second edition, Table 4.1, number 16 (Section 4.2):
generator φ(t) = (θ / t + 1) (1 - t) for θ ≥ 0 and copula
C(u, v) = (S + √(S² + 4θ)) / 2 with S = u + v - 1 - θ (1/u + 1/v - 1).
Solving the quadratic t² + (s - 1 + θ) t - θ = 0 gives the inverse generator
ψ(s) = (1 - θ - s + √((1 - θ - s)² + 4θ)) / 2. It is convex because x ↦ √(x² + c) is
convex (a Euclidean norm), and antitone because x ↦ x + √(x² + c) is monotone. No
derivatives are needed. The generator is strict for θ > 0; at θ = 0 the same formulas
give ψ(s) = max 0 (1 - s) and the family is the lower Fréchet bound W, as in Nelsen's
table (C_0 = W).
The inverse generator s ↦ (1 - θ - s + √((1 - θ - s)² + 4θ)) / 2 of Nelsen's family 16,
for θ ≥ 0. Its generator is u ↦ (θ / u + 1) (1 - u).

C(u, v) = (S + √(S² + 4θ)) / 2 with S = u + v - 1 - θ (1/u + 1/v - 1).
Nelsen's family 16 on the whole closed unit square, with grounded zero axes.
At θ = 0 the generator of family 16 is the truncated linear generator of W.
C_0 = W: at θ = 0 Nelsen's family 16 is the lower Fréchet bound.
