Remark 2.6(d): the printed matrix and a corrected LTD example #

The printed matrix has the stated ranks, but is not LTD: at (2/3,2/3) its CDF is 5/12, below 4/9. Replacing the lower block by masses 1/9,2/9,2/9,1/9 provides a genuine LTD copula with xi strictly larger than footrule.

theorem Papers.Rockel2026XiFootrule.printed_ltd_matrix :
(Verification.LTDExample.thirdMatrix (1 / 4) ⋯).mass = !![1 / 3, 0, 0; 0, 1 / 12, 1 / 4; 0, 1 / 4, 1 / 12]

Literal correspondence with the mass matrix printed in Remark 2.6(d).

The literal LTD assertion in the printed example is false.

theorem Papers.Rockel2026XiFootrule.corrected_ltd_matrix :
(Verification.LTDExample.thirdMatrix (1 / 3) ⋯).mass = !![1 / 3, 0, 0; 0, 1 / 9, 2 / 9; 0, 2 / 9, 1 / 9]

A corrected mass matrix giving the intended counterexample to xi<=footrule in LTD.
