Audit review
Part A matches Theorem 5: the paper proves shadowing of admissible-path traces via compactness of ε-trajectories and Proposition 2, while the model gives a direct, quantitative argument with a continuous defect functional D on M^Z; both yield the same conclusion (the model omits a harmless constant factor in summing the defect weights). See the paper’s Theorem 5 and its proof strategy via ε-trajectories and Proposition 2 . Part B matches Theorem 9: the paper derives ergodicity of the weak limit of consistent simple-flow traces using the extremal property of simple flows and the h* map from measures to flows, together with (1.4), while the model constructs an inverse-limit symbolic system and a continuous selector Φ to true trajectories, pushing forward an ergodic shift measure and showing μ_k ⇒ μ; the assumptions (successive subdivisions; consistency s_*m_{k+1}=m_k; v(M(i))>0) align with the paper’s setup. See (1.4), Theorem 9, and the surrounding discussion of flows and consistency .
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The paper establishes robust shadowing of trajectories from symbolic images and shows that consistent simple flows converge to ergodic invariant measures. Both results are correct, well-motivated, and useful for computational dynamics. Some details (explicit constants in estimates; explicit mention of cell-volume positivity; a brief comment on inverse-limit nonemptiness) would improve readability and eliminate minor implicit steps, but the mathematical content is sound.
