Audit review
The model’s three-part solution mirrors the paper’s method: (i) it derives the layer mapping property from the invariance F(W(θ,s)) = W(θ+ω, λ s), consistent with the paper’s globalization identities and the statement F^k(Un)=Un+k, F^k(Sn)=Sn−k (see eqs. (11), (14)–(15) and the layer mapping discussion) ; (ii) it proves the parity reduction that any heteroclinic point can be shifted by some k to lie in a pair (Un,Sn) or (Un,Sn−1), exactly as argued in the paper (eq. (21) and the ensuing cases) ; (iii) it derives the pull-back/push-forward derivative formulas and assembles the Jacobian for a damped Newton refinement, matching the paper’s eqs. (36)–(39) and Newton step (45) . The only differences are expositional: the model states a clean separation assumption for excluding intersections inside the fundamental domains (the paper notes this empirically) , and it cites standard Newton–Kantorovich conditions for local convergence (the paper uses a practical damped Newton with α chosen by trial-and-error) .
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions
\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid
\textbf{Justification:}
The core mathematical structure—parameterized manifolds with an invariance equation, the induced layer dynamics, and parity reduction—is sound and well aligned with established theory. The numerical refinement via damped Newton is appropriate and effective in practice. However, the text should either justify or clearly state as an assumption the non-intersection within fundamental domains and briefly comment on globalization strategies in the presence of near-singular Jacobians.
