14. (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) can in principle be frequency dependent.

16. Within the model used here, a traveling wave in a periodic symmetric structure gives rise to pumping velocities of amplitude similar to those obtained with a stationary ac wave in an asymmetric structure but with a different frequency dependence.
