Audit review
Both the paper and the model show that, after an affine–Möbius conjugacy, the Schröder map for f(z)=(z−a)^m(z−b)^n and the auxiliary map T_{m,n} reduce to the quadratic monomial R_{m,n}(u)=−(n/m)u^2. The paper implements this via A(z)=1+2(z−a)/(a−b) and M(z)=(z−1)/(z+1), proving M∘T_{m,n}∘M^{-1}(u)=−(n/m)u^2 and then reading off the Julia set as an Apollonius circle or a line (Theorems 1–2) . The model performs the same conjugacy in one step with w=(z−a)/(z−b)=M∘A, again yielding w↦−(n/m)w^2 and the same Julia sets, with the same center–radius formulas. Thus the arguments are essentially the same conjugacy-based proof, and the formulas coincide with those in the paper .

\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid
\textbf{Justification:}
A short, correct note establishing a clean conjugacy-based description of the Julia sets for Schröder's method with two roots of unequal multiplicity. The main ideas are classical, but the explicit center–radius formulas and the pedagogical normalization are useful. Some derivational steps could be expanded for completeness.
