For p(x,t)=xg(x,t)+Bt​h(x,t) and deterministic dBt​=ρBt​dt, Itô formula shows that a self-financing portfolio must have px​=g. This is equivalent to xgx​+Bt​hx​=0. Differentiating it gives pxx​=gx​, so the remaining gain identity is xgt​+Bt​ht​+σ2x2gx​/2=0. Conversely these two identities give dp=gdS+hdB. A value PDE alone does not verify arbitrary prescribed holdings.
