In this supplement we prove the additional technical lemmas stated in Section 7.1 which are used in the proofs of the main results. Lemma 4 The function H−1 defined in Section 2.1 is concave and nondecreasing. It is strictly increasing for all x where H−1(x) < 12 . Moreover for C ≥ 1 it satisfies H−1(Ct) ≤ C 2 3H−1(t). (60) The function K defined in Section 2.1 is also increasing and satisfies ...
