[#R1631] Dated source and duplicate audit
1Summary
The exact target, equivalent terminology, and 2025-2026 status evidence were checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked result: Decidability is known through order five, for simple sequences through order nine, and for additional reversible or dominant-root subclasses. Unresolved remainder: A decision procedure for unrestricted order, already beyond the low-order frontier, remains open.
The audit ran on 2026-08-01 across the cited primary literature and problem collections, Crossref, arXiv, and stable publisher records, TheoremDB published, prospecting, packet, formal, and retired corpus. It checked the exact statement, its named or normalized variants, recent status evidence, and the controlled TheoremDB corpus.
Queries included: - positivity problem linear recurrence sequences general decidability open 2026 - linear recurrence positivity order 6 Diophantine approximation
Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
2Outcome
A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.
