Issues Found
🔴 Issue 1 — Critical (Known, in /review)
characteristic.tex: incomplete defpositions and novelty
- \defpositions: 4 items, missing Ch.2 (Lyapunov) and Ch.4 (Kashyin)
- \novelty: 4 items, missing Ch.2, Ch.4, Ch.5 (empirical)
- Patch in /root/data/review/inbox/phd_autoreferat_characteristic_fix.md — VERIFIED CORRECT
- Must fix before submitting to council
🟡 Issue 2 — Minor (New finding)
introduction.tex: Ch.1 description inconsistency
- Line 32: “Каждая из 7 промежуточных глав представляет из себя законченный исследовательский сюжет, основывающийся на конкретной статье“
- Problem 1: Ch.1 is a background overview chapter, not based on “a specific article”
- Problem 2: Ch.7 covers 3 papers, not one specific article
- Suggested fix (when editing with Оселедец):
Первая из промежуточных глав содержит обзор используемых понятий.
Каждая из последующих 6 глав представляет законченный исследовательский сюжет,
основывающийся на одной или нескольких статьях.
🟡 Issue 3 — Minor
appendix.tex is empty placeholder
- Диссертация состоит из ... заключения и \formbytotal{totalappendix}{приложен}{}... will count 0 appendices
- If totalappendix=0, the sentence “и N приложений” might not appear or might say “0 приложений”
- Verify in compiled PDF that appendix sentence is handled correctly
- If Appendix I (adaptive methods, created 2026-03-10) should be in dissertation, it needs to be added to appendix.tex
🟡 Issue 4 — Minor
Апробация: possibly incomplete
- Listed: MMMA-2019 + ICLR 2020 Workshop
- Not listed: conference presentations for merkulov2020accelerated, filatov2021fast, gasanov2021new
- These may have been journal-only submissions without conference presentations
- Ask Оселедец: were there additional conferences for these papers?
What Looks Good
- All 6 personal contribution statements present and specific about author’s contribution ✅
- concl.tex has correct 6 results, well-written ✅
- Part 5 (Empirical, 274 lines) is complete despite being short — contains intro, algorithm, results, lit review, conclusion ✅
- Conclusion (conclusion.tex) properly links to future research directions ✅
- Thanks to Оселедец and coauthors properly formulated ✅
- Dissertation structure follows ГОСТ Р 7.0.11-2011 ✅
Priority Action Items
- Apply characteristic.tex patch (in /review) → before Оселедец meeting in April
- Review introduction.tex wording about Ch.1 and Ch.7 — suggest fixing during April meeting
- Verify appendix counter in compiled PDF
- Ask Оселедец about апробация completeness
