Audit review

The paper’s Theorem 1 (for system (8)) and Theorem 2 (for system (14)) state exactly the same existence and type (center/saddle/cusp) classifications as the candidate solution, including the degenerate cases aκω − r = 0 and the cusp at the double root threshold for system (14). The paper justifies these via Hamiltonian structure and standard normal-form arguments, e.g., p' = y, y' = −(2κb/(am))p^3 in the degenerate case for system (8), and a k=2, bn=0 normal form for system (14) at the double root, concluding a cusp; the candidate solution uses the same Hamiltonian and linearization facts and the same cusp normal form, differing only in exposition detail. See Theorem 1 and its proof for system (8) and the treatment of the degenerate case aκω − r = 0, as well as the construction and energy function for system (14), and Theorem 2 for the cusp and center/saddle partition by parameters .

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid

\textbf{Justification:}

The equilibrium existence/type classifications for both traveling-wave systems are correct and carefully consistent with the derived Hamiltonians. The main results match standard expectations and are well supported by the phase portraits. Some parts of the proofs are rather terse (e.g., “it is easy to verify”), and the degenerate normal-form conclusions could be made more transparent by including brief computations. These are presentational rather than substantive issues.
