Attainment and convexity in Theorem 3.3 #
Centered countermonotonic blocks attain every footrule value at xi=1. Mixtures then fill fixed-footrule intervals and prove convexity of the whole region. This does not assume or claim closure of the region.
Equation (24), with the universal coefficient ranges implicit in Copula.
