Audit review
The paper’s statements and methods align and appear coherent: it transforms the SPDE via a stationary Ornstein–Uhlenbeck factor, obtains pathwise a random PDE, develops uniform estimates in H^2_0(U) and D(A^μ), proves upper semicontinuity of random attractors in H^2_0(U) as ε→0+, and establishes ergodic invariant measures via a carefully proved Feller property using a refined stochastic Gronwall lemma. The candidate solution largely mirrors these aims but contains a key mathematical error: it invokes a Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality in the wrong direction (claims ||v||_4^4 ≥ C ||v||_2^2 ||Δv||_2^2, whereas the correct estimate is ≤). It also asserts the Feller property without addressing the technical obstacle identified and resolved in the paper. Thus the paper is correct; the model’s derivation has a substantive flaw and missing justifications.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions
\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid
\textbf{Justification:}
The manuscript establishes upper semi-continuity of random attractors in H\^2\_0(U) and existence of ergodic invariant measures for a nonlocal stochastic Swift–Hohenberg equation with multiplicative noise, under positive and special nonnegative kernels. Techniques (OU-transform, fractional semigroup domains, a tailored stochastic Gronwall lemma) are appropriate and carefully executed. Results are of interest for stochastic nonlocal PDEs. Minor clarifications would further improve readability.
