We have an inequality f(phi(z)+γ_1(z))−f(phi(z)+γ_2(z))<c, where phi is decreasing in z and lambda_i is increasing in z for i=1,2. All values are positive. Specifically, suppose this inequality holds for some z_0. When will it also hold for any z<z_0?

We have an inequality
f ( ϕ ( z ) + γ 1 ( z ) ) f ( ϕ ( z ) + γ 2 ( z ) ) < c ,
where ϕ is decreasing in z and γ i is increasing in z for i = 1 , 2. All values are positive.How this inequality is preserved as we vary z. Specifically, suppose this inequality holds for some z 0 . When will it also hold for any z < z 0 ?

Even if we assume that f ( x ) = x for each x, the required inequality transforms to the inequality
γ 1 ( z ) γ 2 ( z ) < c
for increasing functions γ i . If it holds for z = z 0 then it may fails for some z < 0. For instance, let γ 1 ( z ) = z, γ 2 ( z ) = 2 z, z 0 = 0, z = 1, and c = 1.
