Oct 2, 2018 at 13:52 comment added Paata Ivanishvili I have updated the answer. It should not play a role that the infimum is taken with respect to domain $x_{0}<x_{1}$ or $x_{0}\leq x_{1}$ because everything is continuous and if it happens that in the second case the infimum is attained (notice that by compactness it is always attained) for some $x^{*}_{0}$ and $x^{*}_{1}$ such that $x^{*}_{0}=x^{*}_{1}$ then by taking the infimum over the domain $x_{0}<x_{1}$ you can take sequence $x_{0}^{k}, x_{1}^{k}$ such that $x_{0}^{k}<x_{1}^{k}$ and $\lim_{k \to \infty} x_{j}^{k} \to x_{j}^{*}$ for each $j=0,1$ then by continuouty you get the result.

Oct 2, 2018 at 2:28 comment added Paata Ivanishvili It does not matter we have $<$ or $\leq$ because of the $\inf$.
Oct 2, 2018 at 2:17 comment added user521337 you say "beacuse of the symmetry of RHS, we can assume $x_0<x_1<...<x_n$ ..." is that really true or do you mean $x_0\le x_1\le...\le x_n$ ?

Oct 2, 2018 at 2:12 comment added user521337 there are typo s ... in your very first equality of the statement you want to prove, you've two $\inf$ s and then so on at each and every step ...
