Audit review

The paper’s Theorem 4.11 claims that every G–Mohsenialhosseini cyclical operator (with α∈[0,1), β,γ∈[0,1/2)) has ε–fixed points, but its proof derives a recurrence D_{n} ≤ 3η D_{n-1} (with η = max{α, β/(1−β), γ/(1−γ)}) and then concludes D_n→0 without imposing the necessary 3η<1; this is a gap (indeed false if η≥1/3). See Definition 4.10 and Theorem 4.11, and the displayed inequalities (4.1)–(4.5) culminating in the (3η)^n bound and the erroneous “Therefore” limit claim . By contrast, the model proves existence of ε–fixed points under the correct contraction ranges (α<1/2 in case (i), β,γ<1/2 in (ii)/(iii)), giving D_{n+1}≤θD_n with θ∈[0,1), which does imply D_n→0. This aligns with the axioms for G-metrics (G1,G4,G5 used; and G3 is tacitly needed in case (iii)) .

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} reject

\textbf{Journal Tier:} note/short/other

\textbf{Justification:}

The central claim (Theorem 4.11) is unsupported by the provided proof because the derived recurrence requires 3η<1, a hypothesis not stated and generally false under the paper’s parameter ranges. Without correcting this, the main approximate fixed point result is invalid. The remainder of the paper contains standard constructions, but the flagship theorem requires substantial revision.
