Let n≥2n\ge2n≥2 and let vi(θ)=ciθ+div_i(\theta)=c_i\theta+d_ivi​(θ)=ci​θ+di​ be normalized linear valuations on [0,1][0,1][0,1], with ci/2+di=1c_i/2+d_i=1ci​/2+di​=1 and 2≥d1≥⋯≥dn≥02\ge d_1\ge\cdots\ge d_n\ge02≥d1​≥⋯≥dn​≥0. A utility vector belongs to the feasible utility set exactly when it is nonnegative and there exist real zi,wi,si,tiz_i,w_i,s_i,t_izi​,wi​,si​,ti​ satisfying all the linear bounds and parabolic constraints of Theorem 4:

u∈U(v,[0,1])⟺u≥0  and  ∃z,w,s,t: Gi(si,ti)=(zi,wi), si2≤ti, extwiththestatedutilityandboxinequalities.u\in U(v,[0,1])\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad u\ge0\  \text{and}\  \exists z,w,s,t:\ G_i(s_i,t_i)=(z_i,w_i),\ s_i^2\le t_i,\ ext{with the stated utility and box inequalities}.u∈U(v,[0,1])⟺u≥0  and  ∃z,w,s,t: Gi​(si​,ti​)=(zi​,wi​), si2​≤ti​, extwiththestatedutilityandboxinequalities.

The complete auxiliary system includes u1≤z1u_1\le z_1u1​≤z1​, ui≤zi+wi−1u_i\le z_i+w_{i-1}ui​≤zi​+wi−1​ for interior buyers, un≤1+wn−1u_n\le1+w_{n-1}un​≤1+wn−1​, zi∈[0,1]z_i\in[0,1]zi​∈[0,1], wi∈[−1,0]w_i\in[-1,0]wi​∈[−1,0], and zi+wi≥0z_i+w_i\ge0zi​+wi​≥0. This is a finite convex representation of every feasible utility vector, including vectors below the Pareto frontier.

Formalization Note The printed indices require n≥2n\ge2n≥2. Adjacent intercepts may tie. The paper's further bound on si,tis_i,t_isi​,ti​ is a separate companion statement because it fails at a tie.
