The Neyman-Pearson decision region accepting $P^{\otimes n}$ iswith randomization on the boundary when needed. If $R={\hat{P}}_{x_1^n}$ is the type of the observed string, thenThus the equivalent relative entropy form is

LetThe minimum exists because the probability simplex is compact. Let $R^{\ast }$ be the information projection of $Q$ onto the closed convex set ${\mathcal{C}}_{\delta }$. Its Pythagorean inequality says that every $R\in {\mathcal{C}}_{\delta }$ satisfiesFor a string $x_1^n$ of type $R\in {\mathcal{C}}_{\delta }$, this givesSumming over the decision region $B_n$ proves the exact bound

Here $e_2^{(n)}=P^{\otimes n}(B_n^c)$. The method of types gives at most $(n+1{)}^{|A|}$ possible values of type, and a type class $T_R$ hasEvery type in $B_n^c$ has $D(R\Vert P)>\delta$, soThe polynomial prefactor has zero exponential rate. Therefore
