24. It should be noted, for example, that the pseudo-Gibbs ensemble method formulated in Ref. 9 bears some similarities with the VLE grand canonical method advocated in Ref. 19.
25. The fundamental potential of the ensemble is the thermodynamic function whose natural variables are the ensemble parameters (Ref. 17); e.g., it is proportional to the logarithm of the partition function.

35. For concreteness, the formulas given here are expressed in terms of chemical potentials only, e.g., v=βμ. They can be easily recast in terms of fugacities, which may be advantageous in situations where μ diverges.
