Notes

1 According to the condition (14(14) $\begin{array}{r}{g}_j\ge \underset{i\in {\mathcal{S}}_3}{max}\left\{{\left({\overline{p}}_{jo}-\frac{b_j{a}_{ji}}{r_i\vee a_{oi}-a_{ji}}\right)}^{+}{\mathbf{1}}_{\left\{r_i\vee a_{oi}>a_{ji}\right\}}\right\},j\in {\mathcal{S}}_1,\end{array}$(14) ) which we shall see later, one can easily show that both cases lead to strongly admissible CCP systems of which definition will be introduced in Section 4.
