Audit review
The paper proves strong sweeping out for products of rational powers with pairwise coprime denominators using a grid-method criterion (Proposition 3.8) plus a flow Conze principle, and then verifies the criterion via a multiplicative partition into b_i-free pieces and integer-power factors; its arguments are coherent and complete. The model follows the same high-level structure (grid method + Conze + Besicovitch) but proposes a different number-theoretic partition (an R-reduced, large-prime filtration). That partition appears plausible but is less explicitly justified in counting/density than the paper’s e_k S1 partition. Hence both establish the same theorem; the model’s proof is essentially the same framework with a different partition device.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The paper contributes a clear grid-method framework for flows, proves a flow Conze principle, and applies an elegant multiplicative partition to obtain strong sweeping out for products of rational powers with pairwise coprime denominators. The main ideas are sound and the execution is careful; the work consolidates and extends known oscillation phenomena. Minor clarifications would enhance readability (especially around the number-theoretic partition and parameter choices in the grid construction).
