Decreasing rearrangements on the unit interval #
For a measurable f : I → ℝ with values in [0,1], the decreasing rearrangement is
f↓(s) = inf {c ≥ 0 : λ(f > c) ≤ s}. It is antitone, equimeasurable with f, monotone in f,
and satisfies the Hardy–Littlewood inequality ∫_A f ≤ ∫_0^{λ(A)} f↓ for measurable A
(the bathtub principle; see e.g. Lieb–Loss, Analysis, Section 3.3, or Bennett–Sharpley,
Interpolation of Operators, Chapter 2).
This is the general rearrangement infrastructure used for the SI rearrangement of a copula
(Copula.Rearrangement.SI) and for the primitive comparison lemma
(Copula.Rearrangement.Primitive).

over a set of measure x is dominated by the integral of f↓ over [0, x].
