I look forward to the next article in the serie.

In mathematics these are known boundary conditions and they can often complicate problems immensely. Fortunately, in the case of single-bet Kelly, the solution is simple. Just bet the smaller of the Kelly stake, and the maximum bet.
This is true when there is a max risk amount.

However, most A+ books use a max base amount.
In this case there is no fixed rule, but I think that when comparing bets with equal edge you must bet the bigger of the Kelly stake for the maximum bet in order to minimize the expected bankroll growth.
