Proposition 3.3: ordering Archimedean copulas #
Generators are inverse generators ψ in the library convention (C=ψ(ψ⁻¹u+ψ⁻¹v)).
Part (i) is proved for strict generators, where ψ₁⁻¹ ∘ ψ₂ is defined on all of [0,∞),
and in generator coordinates for arbitrary bivariate generators. Parts (ii) and (iii)
use the smooth log-convexity/log-concavity hypotheses of the paper to obtain CI/CD, and
then Lemmas 2.6 and 2.8.

Proposition 3.3(i): for strict generators, C₁ ≤_lo C₂ iff ψ₁⁻¹∘ψ₂ is subadditive.
Proposition 3.3(ii): with log-convex -ψᵢ', subadditivity characterizes the
two-direction Schur order C₁ ≤_∂S C₂.
Proposition 3.3(iii): with log-concave -ψᵢ', subadditivity characterizes the
reversed two-direction Schur order C₂ ≤_∂S C₁.
