The Bell-polynomial nonlinearization is constructed via direct substitution of the Hirota operators expressed in terms of Bell polynomials, which is invertible in principle because the original bilinear form can be recovered by applying the inverse relations. In the revision we will add to §3 a concise invertibility argument showing bijective correspondence of solution sets for the sine-Gordon-type and NLS-type cases. For the Benjamin-Ono-type equations involving the Hilbert transform, we will include a short verification that the Hilbert operator passes through the Bell-polynomial expressions without extraneous terms, using the linearity of the Hilbert transform and its commutation with differentiation. This addition will make the equivalence explicit while preserving the illustrative examples.","revision_made":"yes","referee_comment":"[Abstract and §3] The central claim that the Bell-polynomial nonlinearization produces nonlinear equations whose solution sets stand in one-to-one correspondence with the original Hietarinta bilinear equations (including those containing Hilbert transforms) is load-bearing, yet the manuscript supplies only illustrative examples rather than an explicit identity or invertibility argument establishing that the map is structure-preserving.

That is the concrete contribution here, and it follows the same Bell polynomial technique as in their 2025 paper.\n\nThe approach is consistent with their earlier work, which is a strength for readers familiar with it. However, the paper builds directly on that prior result without new verification for these cases, especially the nonlocal Hilbert ones where pulling the operator through the polynomials could introduce subtleties not addressed beyond the examples. The abstract does not show error analysis or a general proof of equivalence, so the soundness depends on how carefully the examples were chosen.\n\nSpecialists in bilinear integrable systems will find this useful as a technical note. It does not address larger open questions but gives specific conversions that can be checked against the examples. The citation pattern is mostly self-referential, which fits a continuation paper.\n\nI would send this to peer review. The examples make it possible for referees to assess the details, and the work is a natural next step in their line of research even if the scope remains narrow.","headline":"The paper applies the authors' Bell-polynomial nonlinearization to Hietarinta bilinear forms including Hilbert cases, mainly through examples building on their prior work.","tokens_in":2195,"tokens_out":352,"would_cite":false,"duration_ms":25741,"reading_group":"maybe","serious_thinker":"yes","would_accept_peer_review":true},"rs_alignment":null,"lean_confirmation":null,"pith_extraction":{"msc":[],"pacs":[],"model":"grok-4.3","headline":"Bilinear sine-Gordon and nonlinear Schrödinger equations convert to equivalent nonlinear PDEs via Bell polynomials.","keywords":["bilinear equations","nonlinearization","Bell polynomials","sine-Gordon","nonlinear Schrödinger","Benjamin-Ono","Hilbert transform"],"falsifier":"A function that satisfies one of the original bilinear equations but fails to satisfy the corresponding nonlinear equation obtained via the Bell-polynomial procedure, or vice versa.","tokens_in":2513,"feed_emoji":"","tokens_out":546,"duration_ms":24175,"temperature":0.7,"pith_summary":"This paper continues earlier work on nonlinearization by giving explicit conversions for the sine-Gordon type and nonlinear Schrödinger type bilinear equations first listed by Hietarinta.
