Audit review

The paper’s Theorem 4.1 claims that the encoder E(x)=Q h(T) is Lipschitz and sketches a Grönwall-based proof, but it replaces the key factor ||β|| by M (a bound on the dictionary entries) and applies Lipschitz/size bounds defined on K without ensuring trajectories remain in K; the theorem statement also asserts Lipschitzness for all x in R^d despite only assuming well-posedness for data points (and not global existence) . The candidate solution gives the standard, correct argument: f(h)=βΞ(h) is Lipschitz with constant ≤||β|| L_Ξ (with L_Ξ≤√(dn)L), so ∥h_1(T)−h_2(T)∥ ≤ e^{||β|| L_Ξ T}∥x_1−x_2∥ and hence ∥E(x_1)−E(x_2)∥ ≤ e^{||β|| L_Ξ T}∥x_1−x_2∥, further uniformized using ||β||≤b to yield C≤e^{b√(dn)L T}. This fixes both the constant and the missing domain condition (require Ξ to be Lipschitz on the set traversed by trajectories), aligning with Assumption 3.2 and B1(b) .

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid

\textbf{Justification:}

The core DDR framework and optimization formulation are interesting and technically competent. The stability result is valuable but presently contains an incorrect constant and missing domain assumptions. These are minor yet essential fixes. With corrections, the theoretical claims will align with standard ODE stability and the paper’s assumptions, strengthening the presentation.
