Audit review

The paper proves that if a CR-dynamical system (X,G) on a compact metric space has no isolated points and trans2(G) ≠ ∅, then (X,G) is transitive (Theorem 7.15). Its proof selects n with x_n in U and then chooses m>n with x_m in V after removing a finite prefix, leveraging that no nonempty open set can be finite when X has no isolated points. The candidate solution proves the same implication by an equivalent device: a dense forward orbit in a space without isolated points intersects every nonempty open set infinitely often, so one can pick i in U and j>i in V and conclude G^{j−i}(U)∩V ≠ ∅. Both arguments are correct and essentially the same idea, differing only in presentation (finite-prefix removal vs. infinite-returns lemma).

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid

\textbf{Justification:}

The main implication is correct and the proof is well-aligned with standard dynamical systems reasoning, generalized to closed relations. The assumptions are sharp as shown by counterexamples when isolated points are present. Minor edits could make the role of each hypothesis even more explicit and connect the method to the familiar single-valued case.
