Since c > 0, dhj has the sign of the sum between square brackets in (14). Using the
expression for σ in (4) and simplifying we find that

From (17) it is easy to see that daj > 0 if and only if (mk — mj)2 < σ2 (hj, hk, hε). Since
limhk→0 σ2 = ∞ and σ2 (hj , hk, hε) is strictly decreasing in hk (see (4)), there exists a
unique threshold hk such that dhj ≥ 0 if and only if hk = hk. Observe that hk > hj. ■
