Likelihood-ratio comparison for exponential convolutions #
This file formalizes the four-point and double-integral parts of the local
exponential transfer step used in the proof of Theorem 2.1. We use an
ℝ≥0∞-valued density so that Tonelli and monotone integration require no
auxiliary integrability assumptions.
The one-dimensional four-point form of log-concavity.
For nonnegative functions on the line this is the exact multiplicative
inequality needed below. Ordinary log-concave densities with convex
support satisfy this property by concavity of log f.

The geometric specialization of the four-point inequality used in the likelihood-ratio comparison.
The exponential convolution weight.

Monotone likelihood-ratio inequality for the two shift densities.
The proof expands both products as double nonnegative integrals and
applies the four-point inequality pointwise. Because all functions are
ℝ≥0∞-valued, Tonelli is unconditional.
Measurability of the positive exponential convolution.
Measurability of the negative exponential convolution.
Integrating the likelihood-ratio comparison against the two exponential
weights gives u₋ v₊ ≤ u₊ v₋.
Algebraic bridge from the cross-product comparison to monotonicity
of θ = u / (u + v). This real-valued form is convenient after
converting finite probability integrals from ℝ≥0∞.
