Audit review
The paper rigorously proves the large‑b asymptotics of λ(b) near λ∞ for d ≥ 5 under explicit non‑degeneracy assumptions, using Emden–Fowler reduction, three solution families, a weighted Wronskian identity, and an implicit‑function/matching scheme. The candidate solution develops the same core structure and conclusions (including the oscillatory law for 5 ≤ d ≤ 12 and the monotone law for d ≥ 13), invoking the same non‑degeneracy and producing an equivalent solvability condition. Minor technical details (e.g., the paper’s use of intermediate‑time matching and small‑parameter a) are not fully spelled out by the model, but the arguments align in substance.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions
\textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field
\textbf{Justification:}
The paper gives a careful, functionally grounded derivation of the asymptotics for the shooting parameter along the ground-state branch, clarifying prior literature and revealing the oscillatory vs monotone dichotomy across dimensions. The methods (Emden–Fowler, three families, Wronskian/transversality, IFT) are standard but executed with useful technical detail. Minor revisions to streamline exposition and further motivate the non-degeneracy assumptions would improve accessibility.
