21. This ansatz describes a one-dimensional one-particle state. It is easliy generalized to higher dimensions and more particles. We will use the ID case for illustration only.
22. 18 This formula was obtained from extrapolation, using the exactly known results for N= 2 to N = 13.

26. The confining term is introduced only for calculational convenience. Normally, an infinitesimal value of A should already keep the clusters from dissociating, but for numerical stability λ should be chosen larger.
