Problem 1
The output is independent of the representative or description used for the input.

Well-Defined Objects and Ambiguous Notation
Accept equivalent mathematically correct reasoning. Require explicit definitions, theorem hypotheses, proof structure, verification, and limitations.
Problem 2
Identify the first invalid inference, missing hypothesis, quantifier error, unjustified limit interchange, or unproved existence claim; then supply a valid repair.
Problem 3
A complete response explicitly states the definitions, domain, hypotheses, exact target, and theorem dependencies for Well-Defined Objects and Ambiguous Notation.
Problem 4
The argument must address checking that a definition assigns one unambiguous object independent of representation with each nontrivial step justified and the final conclusion restated.
Problem 5
A strong application explains the mathematical model in formal specifications, research questions, mathematical communication, theorem databases, and reliable technical reasoning, verifies conditions, and names at least one limitation.
Problem 6
Accept a second valid proof, a counterexample showing necessity of a hypothesis, an independent estimate, or a reproducible finite check that is correctly described as supporting evidence.
