4. See Eq. (10) of Ref. 7 or Eq. (53) of Ref. 8. (Actually, this equation was first reported—with a misprint—in Ref. 6.) In these papers, SMC was denoted as “surface magnetic reconstruction.” It should be noted that these equations differ slightly from Eq. (2) or, equivalently, from Eq. (14) of the present paper just because, in Refs. 7 and 8, the bulk anisotropy was assumed to be present also on the (formula presented) plane, in addition to the surface anisotropy.

11. Such a model was not considered by the authors in Ref. 1.
12. In practice, such a linearization procedure is equivalent to the second-order (formula presented) expansion of the energy in Eq. (1), performed by Popov and Pappas (Ref. 1).
13. In the finite film case, the nonuniform ground-state configuration is found to be associated with elliptic trajectories (Refs. 6 and 8).
