Audit review

The candidate solution reproduces the paper’s two main sufficient conditions for conditional Lipschitz shadowing. For the semilinear case, it uses the exponential dichotomy Green operator and a contraction on a sup-norm ball, yielding κ = 2N/(λ − 2NL) and ε0 = δ(λ/(2N) − L), exactly as in Theorem 2 and its proof (see the theorem statement and the contraction estimates around (2.11)–(2.12) ; the dichotomy setup is as in Definition 3 ). For the nonlinear logarithmic-norm criterion, it introduces the averaged Jacobian E(t), invokes convexity of the logarithmic norm (Lemma 1), and obtains the same bound with κ = 1/m and ε0 = mδ, matching Theorem 5 and its proof via variation-of-constants and the log-norm bound . Minor stylistic differences (Dini derivative vs. variation-of-constants; choice of closed ball for the fixed-point map) are routine and mathematically equivalent. No missing hypotheses were detected relative to the paper’s statements.

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field

\textbf{Justification:}

The manuscript proposes a conditional Lipschitz shadowing framework and proves two sharp criteria (semilinear with exponential dichotomy; general nonlinear via logarithmic norm) with explicit constants and clear applicability. The arguments are correct and well structured. Minor improvements would further aid readability and self-containment for non-experts.
