I have a problem minimizing sum of piecewise linear functions. Given $f:R\rightarrow R$ with $f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^n \max (a_ix,b_ix+c_i)$ and $a_i,c_i <0; b_i>0$ find an equation that $a_i,b_i, c_i $ must satisfy in order to assure that argmin of $f$ is $x_0$.

Teese will not be equations but inequalities. Consider $n=1$ then $n=2$ and you easily figure out the pattern. – Alexandre Eremenko Jan 11 at 19:32
