Section 5: median sections and the gap function #

The set S of median sections of the source is encoded through the slope p of the section: a nonincreasing function with values in [0,1] on [0,1] and ∫₀¹ p = 1/2. The section itself is A(u) = ∫₀ᵘ p, the companion is B(u) = 1/2 + u - A(u), and the gap function of equation (5.2) is w = B - A. Only the values of p on [0,1] matter; the global monotonicity is a harmless normalization (every nonincreasing p on [0,1] has such an extension) that makes interval-integral calculus and the countability of discontinuities available without side conditions.

An element of the set S of Section 5: a median section A(u) = ∫₀ᵘ p, with p nonincreasing, 0 ≤ p ≤ 1 on [0,1] and ∫₀¹ p = 1/2.

          The gap function lies above the tent |u - 1/2| (source, after (5.2)).

          The gap function is 1/2 + ∫₀ᵘ (1 - 2p), i.e. w' = 1 - 2p.

          The gap function is convex on [0,1] (source, after (5.2)).

          |s.gap b - s.gap a| ≤ |b - a|

          The gap function is 1-Lipschitz on [0,1].

          The median section A = C(·, 1/2) of an SI copula belongs to S (source, paragraph before Lemma 5.1): p is a nonincreasing version of ∂₁C(·, 1/2).
