Oct 25, 2020 at 16:21 comment added Charles Pehlivanian Apologies, you are right on all counts. I replayed everything by hand the calculations are all easily reproducible. Thanks again.

Oct 25, 2020 at 2:16 comment added Iosif Pinelis @CharlesPehlivanian : Why are saying this? The substitution R3->R2 was made into dif, which latter is the difference between the left- and right-hand sides of (2). See the pdf image of the updated Mathematica notebook at u.pcloud.link/publink/… . I have now also rechecked (3) manually -- took me 5 or 10 minutes.
Oct 25, 2020 at 0:39 comment added Iosif Pinelis @CharlesPehlivanian : I did the routine algebraic calculations with Mathematica, rather than by hand; see the pdf image of the Mathematica notebook at u.pcloud.link/publink/… I think these calculations are doable by hand. Otherwise, you can use Mathematica or any other commercial or freely available computer algebra system to check the calculations.

Oct 24, 2020 at 17:17 comment added Charles Pehlivanian Sorry, how do you get to $\frac{\left(R_1-R_2\right){}^2 t_1^2 t_3}{\left(t_1+t_2\right) \left(t_1+t_2+t_3\right)}\ge0,$ with $R_2 = R_3$?

Oct 21, 2020 at 17:12 comment added Iosif Pinelis I took the derivative in $R_3$, as I wrote, and it is manifestly $\ge0$ when expressed in terms of $R_j$' s (and $t_j$'s).

Oct 21, 2020 at 16:19 comment added Charles Pehlivanian Yes, $F(\emptyset) = 0$ can be assumed, thanks. So $F$ is submodular for intervals but not in general. "...that the derivative in $s_3$..." maybe?, otherwise it's messy.
