20. We emphasize that by using the approximations of eqs. (5) and (6) we do not mean that ψ is small, a crucial assumption required for a standard Landau expansion; rather, this is just a convenient way to fit a double-well function which is sufficient for our purposes.

22. In principle, eq. (2) permits a change of sign in the gradient with non-monotonic profiles of the OP, but such behavior gives higher energy and leads to unstable (or metastable) phases.
