Version DOI (v1.0.0): 10.5281/zenodo.17917303

1) Official citation (DOI + BibTeX)

Use the version DOI when citing results tied to a specific release, and the concept DOI when citing the project as a whole.

Reviewer note: If you reference a figure/table/result from this website, prefer a version DOI (v1.0.0, v1.0.1, …). If you reference the framework itself, use the concept DOI.

How this connects: Hierarchical lifting can be interpreted as choosing a coordinate system where the problem is better conditioned, then transforming back (often involving exponentials/logarithms).

4) Physics references (for applied examples)

5) Domain assumptions (important for rigor)

Increasing rank may shrink the domain due to iterated logarithms. A compact summary:

Domain summary Typical assumptions
- Rank 0: no special domain constraints beyond classical differentiability.
- Rank 1: typically requires x>0 and f(x)>0 when using ln x and ln f.
- Rank 2: requires x>1 with ln(x)>0 and f(x)>1 with ln(f)>0.
- Rank 3+: adds further conditions for iterated logarithms and avoids singularities.
