Black-Scholes value equation needs delta-compatible holdings ($g=p_x,hB=p-x{p}_x$)

A smooth value function satisfying the Black-Scholes equation admits a self-financing portfolio with the displayed delta hedge. An arbitrary decomposition $p=xg+Bh$ need not be self-financing. For example $p=0$, $g=1$, $h=-x/B$ solves the value equation but has portfolio gains $dS-\rho Sdt$, which are not zero when volatility is positive. For specified holdings, self-financing is equivalent to the value equation together with $g=p_x$.
