We claim that, by setting $w$ to zero on this interval, the value of $F(w)$ is reduced.
Kim announces that (by a tedious proof) the upper bound can be reduced to 10.
The length of $F$ is thus reduced by half.
By induction, we are reduced to proving the following lemma.
The problem now reduces to establishing that ......
We first prove a reduced form of the theorem.
