25. F = -1〉 component has been neglected in Ref. [13] as well as our study. This leads to the different conclusion from ours.

29. Another equilibrium configuration consists of two phase-separated domains occupying either side of an elongated trap with a domain wall in the middle. Numerical analysis shows that, with the parameter values in Ref. [13], this configuration is unstable, whereas that shown in Fig. 3(d) is the true ground state. Generally, the stability of the two configurations depends on the trap aspect ratio and the particle number. More details are in K. Kasamatsu et al., Phys. Rev. A 64, 053605 (2001).
30. The small change in the value of γ changes only the rate that the total energy decreases, as shown in Fig. 3.
