Audit review

The paper states and justifies the Collage Theorem in partial metric spaces (Theorem 3.6) as an immediate corollary of a general inequality (Theorem 3.2) applied to the Hutchinson operator W acting on the hyperspace (Hp(X), hp), together with the contractivity of W (Theorem 2.13) and the condensation condition hp(C,C)=0 when present (Definition 3.5 and Theorem 3.4). This yields hp(L,A) ≤ (1−s)^{-1} hp(L,W(L)) exactly as claimed . The candidate model gives a standard one-step triangle-inequality proof tailored to the partial Hausdorff setting, also handling the condensation case by noting that adding a set C with hp(C,C)=0 does not increase hp; this is consistent with the paper’s condensation condition and yields the same estimate. Thus, the paper’s statement and justification are correct, and the model’s argument is also correct, though it uses a different but standard route.

\textbf{Justification:}

The paper correctly states and supports the Collage Theorem in partial metric spaces by appealing to a general contraction inequality and the contractivity of the Hutchinson operator on the hyperspace. The condensation case is handled by the condition hp(C,C)=0, which aligns with the necessary and sufficient criterion for the condensation transformation to be contractive. A few explicit steps—particularly the hyperspace specialization and the preservation of contractivity under the addition of a condensation set—could be spelled out to improve readability.
