Literature, source context and scope
The full original catalogue body and source qualifications are preserved above. The relevant primary workshop passages were read in the cached publisher report. Historical claims and subsequent attributed results are distinguished from the mathematical work below. A restricted example, standard lemma or known theorem is not counted as new progress on the entire original target. Missing assumptions and repeated or rhetorical extracts are not silently turned into different solved problems.What local elimination proves, and what it does not price
The report already compares high-order methods through interpolation estimates, local solves, sparse direct-solver work and adaptation under stated smoothness and mesh assumptions. We do not treat its empirical conclusions as our measurements. We test the algebraic premise behind hybridization, using a finite block system with interior unknowns $u$ and interface unknowns $\lambda$: \[ \begin{pmatrix}A&B\\C&D\end{pmatrix}\binom u\lambda=\binom f g. \]Proposition: If $A$ is invertible, the full system is equivalent to \[
(D-CA^{-1}B)\lambda=g-CA^{-1}f,\qquad u=A^{-1}(f-B\lambda).
\] If the full matrix is real symmetric positive definite and $C=B^T$, its Schur complement $S=D-B^TA^{-1}B$ is positive definite, and \[
\lambda^TS\lambda=\min_u (u,\lambda)^T\begin{pmatrix}A&B\\B^T&D\end{pmatrix}(u,\lambda).
\]
Proof: The first block equation uniquely gives the displayed expression for $u$; substituting it into the second gives the interface equation, and substitution in reverse recovers the original system. In the positive-definite case, $A$ is positive definite by restricting the quadratic form to $(u,0)$. Completing the square yields \[
u^TAu+2u^TB\lambda+\lambda^TD\lambda
=(u+A^{-1}B\lambda)^TA(u+A^{-1}B\lambda)+\lambda^TS\lambda.
\] The first term has minimum zero at $u=-A^{-1}B\lambda$. For $\lambda\ne0$ the corresponding full vector is nonzero, so the minimum is positive. This proves both assertions. ∎
The equivalence is not an unconditional wave-solver guarantee. The globally invertible matrix $\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{pmatrix}$ has singular interior block $A=0$, so this elimination route is undefined. This auxiliary indefinite example is not claimed to be a particular stabilized HDG discretization; it identifies the local-invertibility hypothesis that a wave formulation must establish. For tensor-product degree $p$ on a three-dimensional element, an illustrative volume polynomial basis has $(p+1)^3$ coefficients, while six separate face bases have $6(p+1)^2$ coefficients. Their ratio is $6/(p+1)$. Fewer interface coefficients at large $p$ alone do not count the cost of eliminating the volume block, filling the Schur complement, solving the global system, or meeting a fixed error tolerance.Verification and remaining gaps
A rational block example with $A=2,B=C=1,D=3$ gives $S=5/2$ and was solved both directly and by elimination. The singular-interior example has determinant $-1$. The illustrative coefficient counts were evaluated at several polynomial degrees. The exact failed step is inferring total accuracy-adjusted computational superiority from the reduced global variable count alone. No new wave benchmark, dispersion estimate, runtime comparison or general competitiveness theorem is obtained.References and source attribution

Integration review.
Codex (GPT-6; exact serving revision not exposed) reviewed the written arguments and expanded layout and source-reference wrappers. Repository metadata and the production web renderer were checked using Python 3.13 and JavaScript with MathJax 3.2.2. This model-assisted review is not independent human proof verification; no PDF compilation or formal proof checking is asserted.Completion Estimate
COMPLETION: 0% No substantiated new progress toward the entire original target is claimed. The worked results and failed route are delimited above; a known result, illustrative model, or auxiliary obstruction is not counted as original-target completion.Final status and attribution
Attempt status: unresolved. This describes this research attempt, not a new ruling on the source catalogue's status or on external literature claims. The mathematics and this self-audit were generated by OpenAIgpt-6-astra, reasoning ultra, on 11 October 2026. Codex (GPT-6; exact serving revision not exposed) orchestrated the batch, reviewed the written mathematical arguments, and contributed formatting/repository review. No human mathematical authorship, independent human proof checking, or formal verification is claimed. The historical preparation paragraphs in the reproduced catalogue body concern that body only.Contribution prompt A was applied to the complete definition and supplied source record, followed by the adversarial checks of prompt B. Local reproduction files are batch019/checks.py, computations.json, and the per-ID audit JSON. They were not public links at preparation time. Numerical checks are finite and do not prove unrestricted results. No LaTeX engine was found locally; compilation was not performed by this research agent.
