17. Asymptotic transformations are only approximate reversible, in the sense that an o(1) error and o(N) inefficiency are allowed. Note that because of the continuity of the relative entropy of entanglement (see M. J. Donald and M. Horodecki, Phys. Lett. A 264 (1999), 257), an o(1) error in N copies of a state can reduce the relative entropy of entanglement by at most o(N). This term does not contribute to the regularized version of the relative entropy of entanglement.

32. This can be checked by noticing that the bipartite reduced density matrices of the states discussed in [6] (which contain the Schmidt-decomposable states of [3] as a particular case) consist of a mixture of locally orthogonal pure states (either product or entangled). Thus, the entanglement of the mixed state can be distilled without losses by means of a projective local measurement that probabilistically picks up one of the pure states of the mixture.
