Proposition 7 The balanced accumulation function is a concave function with Φι(0)


= 0. Φι() = _'x..Φ∣ (0) = . Φ'ι() = 5,Φi(k)


and Φ1(k) < 0.

Proof. Rewrite (24) as Φ4(k) = α4 [k“ ± a5k] with a4 := Xq/cvqXv and a5 : =
(1 ±
c∕s) Л/s, then Φχ(0) = 0. Φι() = -∞. Differentiate Φ4(k) w.r.t. k, then

and therefore
