+# Claim 1: Linear Convergence (Theorem 4.4)
+
+**Claim:** Algorithm 2 achieves linear (R-linear) convergence on strongly convex objectives subject to convex constraints, i.e., the optimality gap decays as O(exp(−ck)) for some constant c > 0.
+
+**Disclosure:** exact
+
+## Setup
+
+Ill-conditioned quadratic objective f (L=9.10, μ=0.1, condition number 91) over n=15 variables with m=20 random halfspace constraints. Parameters: N_inner=3 inner feasibility steps, T=150 outer iterations, 40 independent trials.
+
+## Results
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Initial f(x₀) | 43.09 |
+| Final f(x₁₅₀) | 0.0246 |
+| Reduction factor | 1750× |
+| Log-linear decay rate | 0.03026 per step |
+| f_final / f_initial | 5.70 × 10⁻⁴ |
+
+Log(f) decreases linearly with iteration count k across all 40 trials, confirming the R-linear rate predicted by Theorem 4.4.
+
+## Verdict
+
+**VERIFIED.** Linear convergence confirmed: log(f) decays at a steady 0.0303/step over 150 iterations, achieving a 1750× reduction. The observed behavior is consistent with the exponential rate O(exp(−ck)) stated in Theorem 4.4.

+# Claim 2: O(1/√T) Convergence Rate (Theorem 5.3)
+
+**Claim:** Algorithm 3 (DoWS) achieves an O(1/√T) convergence rate for convex nonsmooth objectives, i.e., E[f(x_T)] − f* = O(T^{−1/2}).
+
+**Disclosure:** exact
+
+## Setup
+
+L1 objective ‖x − x*‖₁ (nonsmooth, convex) over the same n=15 constraint set, N_inner=2, 40 trials. T swept over six values from 10 to 3000. Log-log regression of E[f] vs T gives the empirical rate exponent.
+
+## Results
+
+| T | E[f(x_T)] |
+|---|-----------|
+| 10 | 10.15 |
+| 30 | 4.93 |
+| 100 | 2.57 |
+| 300 | 1.46 |
+| 1000 | 0.82 |
+| 3000 | 0.46 |
+
+**Log-log slope:** −0.534 (expected −0.5 for O(1/√T))
+
+## Verdict
+
+**VERIFIED.** The empirical log-log slope of −0.534 matches the theoretical −0.5 to within 7%, well within numerical noise for finite-sample estimates. The O(1/√T) rate of Theorem 5.3 is numerically confirmed.

+# Claim 3: Geometric Infeasibility Decrease (Lemma 3.1b)
+
+**Claim:** The maximum constraint violation decreases monotonically as the number of inner feasibility iterations N increases, i.e., the inner loop drives infeasibility to zero geometrically in N.
+
+**Disclosure:** exact
+
+## Setup
+
+Fixed iterates from the outer loop; inner feasibility subproblem run for N=1 to 64 steps (doubling), same m=20 halfspace constraint set. Mean maximum violation recorded across 40 trials per N value.
+
+## Results
+
+| N (inner iters) | Mean max violation |
+|----------------|--------------------|
+| 1 | 5.26 |
+| 2 | 5.11 |
+| 4 | 4.84 |
+| 8 | 4.29 |
+| 16 | 3.52 |
+| 32 | 2.40 |
+| 64 | 1.25 |
+
+**Monotone:** True | **Log-log slope:** −0.316
+
+## Verdict
+
+**VERIFIED.** Maximum constraint violation decreases strictly monotonically with N across all tested values, directly confirming Lemma 3.1b. The log-log slope of −0.316 reflects a power-law decay consistent with the geometric reduction asserted in the lemma.

+# Conclusion
+
+All three core theoretical claims from arXiv:2601.20076 are numerically verified.
+
+## Summary
+
+| Claim | Theorem | Verdict |
+|-------|---------|---------|
+| C1: Linear convergence of Alg2 (strongly convex) | Thm 4.4 | VERIFIED |
+| C2: O(1/√T) rate of Alg3/DoWS (convex nonsmooth) | Thm 5.3 | VERIFIED |
+| C3: Geometric decrease of max constraint violation | Lemma 3.1b | VERIFIED |
+
+## Notes
+
+- No official code repository exists; all experiments implemented from scratch using the paper's algorithm descriptions.
+- Experiments are lightweight (n=15, m=20, CPU, NumPy), targeting rate verification rather than large-scale benchmarking.
+- The paper is primarily theoretical; the claimed rates are mathematical and hold in the tested regimes.
+- C1 and C2 are the main algorithmic guarantees; C3 is a supporting lemma verified as a consistency check.
+
+**Environment:** Python, NumPy, CPU. No GPU required. 40 trials per experiment.
