Audit review
The paper derives the weak-form residual, defines B and G, and replaces the mSINDy derivative-fit term with the weak residual to obtain L_WmSINDy(Ξ, x̃) = ||B(x̃) − G(x̃)Ξ||^2 + e_s, matching Eq. (18a,b) in the paper. It also states that the Ξ-update is performed by sparse regression using the weak convolution form (Algorithm 1, step 8), i.e., minimizing ||B(x̃) − G(x̃)Ξ|| subject to sparsity, which aligns with the candidate solution’s reduction of the Ξ-subproblem to sparse least-squares for fixed x̃. Minor implementation details (norm conventions, quadrature specifics) differ but are non-substantive. Citations: weak-form and linear system B=GΞ (Eqs. (7)–(13)) , WmSINDy loss (Eq. (18a,b)) , mSINDy loss (Eq. (4)) and flow-map usage (Eq. (5)) , and statement about sparse-regression Ξ-update in WmSINDy (text around Algorithm 1) .
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The integration of WSINDy’s weak formulation into mSINDy is carefully argued and empirically validated. Theory and implementation steps are consistent with the cited equations. Clarifying the decoupled Ξ-update (i.e., minimizing only the weak residual) would enhance methodological transparency, but this is a minor point that does not undermine correctness.
