     a critical point of the ratio
     $F_\mathcal{N}(\lambda)/L_\mathcal{N}(\lambda)$. Such a critical point is
     characterized by:

+    \begin{equation}\label{eq:lhopital}
         \frac{F_\mathcal{N}(\lambda)}{L_\mathcal{N}(\lambda)}

-    The case of the faces of the hypercube can be dealt with by induction

+    Finally, if the minimum is attained on a face of the hypercube (a face is
+    defined as a subset of the hypercube where one of the variable is fixed to
+    0 or 1), without loss of generality, we can assume that the minimum is
+    attained on the face where the $|\mathcal{N}|$-th variable has been fixed
+    to 0 or 1. Then, either the minimum is attained at a point interior to the
+    face or on a boundary of the face. In the first case, relation
+    \eqref{eq:lhopital} still characterizes the minimum for $i< |\mathcal{N}|$.
+    In the second case, by repeating the argument again by induction, we see
+    that all is left to do is to show that the bound holds for the vertices of
+    the cube (the faces of dimension 1).  The vertices are exactly the binary
+    points, for which we know that both relaxations are equal to the value
+    function $V$. Hence, the ratio is equal to 1 on the vertices.

     Let us start by computing the derivatives of $F_\mathcal{N}$ and
     $L_\mathcal{N}$ with respect to the $i$-th component.
