+To show budget feasibility, suppose that $L(\xi) < C V(i^*)$. Then the mechanism selects $i^*$. Since the bid of $i^*$ does not affect the above condition, the threshold payment of $i^*$ is $B$ and the mechanism is budget feasible.
 Suppose  that $L(\xi) \geq C V(i^*)$. 
 Denote by $S_G$ the set selected by the greedy algorithm, and for $i\in S_G$,  denote by
 $S_i$ the subset of the solution set that was selected by the greedy algorithm just prior to the addition of $i$---both sets determined for the present cost vector $c$.
