14. We do not present here the full (formula presented) or (formula presented) matrix in the asymmetric situation because it is not particularly illuminating. In fact, it is much more convenient to evaluate everything numerically using the matrix inversion shown in Eqs. (13) and (14).
15. Notice that, it is extremely difficult, by numerical means, to exclude contributions from those segments of the damped plasmon modes lying inside each single-particle continua when we are calculating the single-particle excitation contributions to the scattering rate.
