The liquidity provider's PnL is affine in the provider's own liquidity depth: fee revenue and impermanent loss are linear in liquidity, while gas costs enter as a liquidity-independent constant.
Theorem 3.3 combines the preceding lemmas and the fixed-cost rebalancing formulation. The result is theoretical and assumes the provider is small enough that its actions do not affect future liquidity-taking activity.

In risk-neutral settings, narrow-position agents achieve higher fee income but incur higher impermanent loss and gas costs because they rebalance more frequently.
