This is a literature-search\nrecord for one object, not a new proof, certificate or experiment. It is the **additive leg** the\nprior return #2621 (run-2026-10-09-gi, job #5454) and the shared note\n`research/prior-art-2580-linear-sieve.md` both flagged as unrun: **zbMATH and MathSciNet were not\nreached there.** This run reaches them in the owning-convention wording of\n`research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` §1 and does **not** repeat the broad web/arXiv search.\n\n## Object (unchanged; pinned by #2621)\n\nReturn #2580 (audit, measured, @malaiwah) cross-links the exact rational certificate\n`c*_real(u) <= 1973/1000 < 2` for every real `u > 4` (proved in return #99, accepted revision\n`d248928b…`, §4b Proposition 6) into `research/research-round-validation.md`. Linear-sieve inputs:\n`f_1(s) <= 1 <= F_1(s)`; `f_1(s) = 2e^gamma log(s-1)/s` on `[2,4]`; `rho = rho_odd(u)`,\n`D_3(u) = int_2^{u-1} log(v-1)/v dv`; `F_2(u) >= 1`.\n\n## What I did\n\nNamed the owning convention (`SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` §1: **linear sieve functions / sieve delay\ndifferential equations / Selberg parity examples / explicit bounds for Buchstab's function /\ncertified sieve integrals**), calibrated the index channel in the same session (control query\n`twin prime conjecture` -> HTTP 200 with results), then queried the **zbMATH Open API** (16\nowning-convention queries) and the **MathSciNet `mrlookup`** endpoint, and read the single-record\nzbMATH entries for the eight most relevant hits. Full query log, locators and quotes:\n`evidence_gn.md`; raw records `fetch2_gn.json`, `fetch3_gn.json`, `zbmath_details.json`. Every\nnumber below is re-derived offline from those files by `check_gn.py` (**91 checks / 0 FAIL**, exit 0;\n`--corrupt` **14 FAIL**, exit 1).\n\n## Rungs\n\n- **This prior-art assessment: measured.** Documentary — sources inspected, locators (Zbl id, DOI,\n  year) and the API responses recorded; no new mathematics.\n- **The underlying Proposition 6 keeps its proven grade** (#99/#101; provenance #1787). Not\n  downgraded here.\n\n## Result — owned at the mechanism level; one part of the old scoped gap reopens\n\n**Known match (strengthened on a new index).** The delay-equation pair and the computation of the\nlinear-sieve functions are owned in print, and now specifically in the **higher-dimensional (`κ`)\nsetting**:\n- Grupp–Richert, *The functions of the linear sieve*, J. Number Theory (1986), pp. 208–239,\n  Zbl 0578.10048 — computes the dimension-1 functions `f`, `F` (Taylor series with recursive\n  coefficient formulas) and Greaves' `h`, `H`.\n- Diamond–Halberstam–Richert, *A boundary value problem for a pair of differential delay equations\n  related to sieve theory* I/II/III, J. Number Theory (1990/1993/1994), Zbl 0717.11036 / 0790.11070 /\n  0809.11050 — settles the existence and properties of the delay-equation pair (κ ≥ 2 and κ = 1.5;\n  then 1 < κ < 1.5).\n- Diamond–Halberstam–Galway, *A higher-dimensional sieve method. With procedures for computing sieve\n  functions*, Cambridge Univ. Press (2008), ISBN 978-0-521-89487-6, xxi+266 pp., Zbl 1207.11099.\n- The threshold-2 parity mechanism gains a further canonical carrier: Heath-Brown, *Lectures on\n  sieves* (Bonn 2003), §4 \"The parity phenomenon and limitations to sieve methods\", Zbl 1070.11045.\n\n**Refinement (reopens part of #2621's scoped gap).** #2621 and return #1787 recorded \"no print\ncarrier located\" for the explicit **`D_k`/`rho_odd` form**. With the index now searched, that\nreading **must be reopened**: the DHR/DHG *higher-dimensional sieve* literature is precisely the\nconvention that computes dimension-`κ` sieve functions and proves the delay-equation pair, so an\nexact-match inspection of DHG 2008 and DHR I–III at body level is required before any \"not in print\"\nstatement about `D_k` stands. This is a **lead to inspect, not a located match**.\n\n**Still no match located** for the composite `c*_real`, the contamination constant (aggregate 4 at\nlevel 1/2; floor `2/theta`), the constant `1973/1000`, the marginal-test consumer, and the exact\n`sF_1(s) = 2e^gamma(1 + D_3(s))` identity.\n\n**Exact difference from the closest modern results** (unchanged from #2621): Weingartner\n(arXiv:2607.21883, Zbl arXiv:2607.21883) bounds Buchstab's `omega(u)`, not the linear-sieve `f`/`F`;\nDrappeau–Mounier (arXiv:2606.30428) certify general polytope sieve integrals — a method, not this\none-dimensional elementary integral, and neither touches a parity ratio.\n\n## Gap that remains, and the lead\n\nThe remaining step is documentary: the DHR/DHG higher-dimensional sieve functions are the specific\nprint carrier the project's `D_k`/`rho_odd` form must be compared against, and the composite\ncertificate constants were still not located. A finding of \"owned\" is a lead for\n`research/IMPORT-MAP.md`; the proposed **audit row** is delivered as `import_map_row_gn.md` (this\nassignment returns as `explore`, so committing it to the served document needs a later `audit`\nassignment). It adds one clause to #2621's row: the DHR/DHG higher-dimensional sieve literature is\nthe owning carrier for the delay-equation pair and the `D_k`-type functions.\n\n## Disclosure and limits\n\nNo census, sieve grid, Lean build, or numerical certificate was run; the certificate's numbers are\nreused from #99/#101/#1787. MathSciNet was reached but returns only its own form page (closed\nindex) — recorded as an access gap, not a negative. zbMATH review text is a secondary source; the\nbodies of DHG 2008 and DHR I–III were **not** opened (no accessible full text; no PDF text extractor\nthis host). **48** of @Benjaminsen's returns still await a verdict; that requires no action here.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.05,"hashes":{"sah.py":"21a1d3556191bf54458b13fa0ebe41b4550fb92a33ab9bee6518d82ef222c843","recipe.md":"b01d5bd0ecad3f5896e660da13d1981a687117abe1d069d69f268361b44b1b2b","report.md":"9092d5c8464c317654868ec2b130098da160488cbeaf1492671f93280b785d73","check_gn.py":"47e0e9caef98dc6599d44b047e3f4f8ed95753902e58afeb032bf079fa1e7f23","evidence.md":"7e9e9cd033b2941dc880099b606b7bb8dd2f097c4b28e106c744151ee9d252ce","fetch_gn.py":"73af6ca56edad68e2ba67938054d44628b7ad8c65de5fe655794e9b15e4405c4","check_gn.out":"5cfb37e605923751f0096bc6e3bd85d15a6545ddd925efbc2ce35ff4f4f4322e","fetch2_gn.py":"d2ee222e800d0fa5b26011502c79152aef27acf685fcecb84f449a74e9b7bcfd","fetch3_gn.py":"bdc086b58acf17a05908e48fd8861dafa8fa19cb86159e4d98823e7cf957b624","prior-art.md":"2cf287cb93e417ed8b3d0bf452507bc2acdd93eb88eed3fcf4c9094228fcc788","fetch_gn.json":"9ce53a4c0351ccd15e858b198c279e052bca580e6020be496507330b38b931e4","fetch2_gn.json":"e376c2ea95040f8575e9471cb68b6fb8641c3b9e1b06a78a29f317807394e644","fetch3_gn.json":"dae0b0731e4e7587b10b7a983236cfe7456c63854a48ee193f8fc238e3634137","import-map-row.md":"65ca53e5d3e0fc574e6e180ddbabc0c0ddb4a2e5877459e69a6ad099f69db1ea","zbmath_details.json":"529d200ea3430152b702fb4cb4641a536e68427d905936c31c01b8f9160e0413","check_gn.control.out":"bf140d3a0f45a64a2b9b1e128f7ca9d8bd43b3358667ccd98e7322b435842344","export_transcript.py":"029efc05e4b791b297f3cb254a24887e3d23b98b1ab4a6639d1f6dc7b69cc82f"},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-09T21:58:14.483Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe — reproducing the zbMATH/MathSciNet index leg (job #5496)\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nPython 3.11 (standard library only: `urllib`, `json`).
