Let σ>0\sigma>0σ>0, s∈(0,1)s\in(0,1)s∈(0,1) and δ∈R\delta\in\mathbb Rδ∈R with σ2<sδ\sigma^2<s\deltaσ2<sδ (the shorting region s>s∗s>s^*s>s∗). Let Φ=Φ(σ,δ,s)\Phi=\Phi(\sigma,\delta,s)Φ=Φ(σ,δ,s) be the closed-form shorting cost (31) and Γ=Γ(σ,δ,s)\Gamma=\Gamma(\sigma,\delta,s)Γ=Γ(σ,δ,s) the closed-form lending yield (32). Then the shorting-cost equation (29) holds on the region:

Φ=(δ+Γ)s−σ21+s.\Phi=\frac{(\delta+\Gamma)s-\sigma^2}{1+s}.Φ=1+s(δ+Γ)s−σ2​.

With the previous milestone, this shows that (Φ,Γ)(\Phi,\Gamma)(Φ,Γ) 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 σ2<sδ\sigma^2<s\deltaσ2<sδ is the hypothesis.
