Let , and with (the shorting region ). Let be the closed-form shorting cost (31) and the closed-form lending yield (32). Then the shorting-cost equation (29) holds on the region:
With the previous milestone, this shows that given by (31)–(32) solves the whole system (29)–(30) on the shorting region.
Formalization Note On the region both indicators equal one; the Lean uses the definitions costOne and yieldOne of (31) and (32), whose common guard is the hypothesis.
