5. R is the Rayleigh range. While the intensity distribution is not Gaussian in the z direction, we expect that the results presented in this paper will give a rough estimate for the condensate properties in an optical dipole trap.

9. We have set the chemical potential to be zero, implying zero energy for the ground state of the trap. This approximation is valid only as long as the trap depth is large compared to the ground state energy.
