32. Under suitable conditions, the Gross-Pitaevskii equation can be formally derived from the BCS smean-fieldd gap equation in the presence of an external potential [P. Pieri and G. C. Strinati, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 030401 (2003)].
33. μ→ -∞ can thus be either separately or simultaneously applied, depending on the need.

38. In the following we shall regard as irrelevant for all practical purposes the difference for the ratio r between the value 0.75 sobtained in Ref. 14d and the value 0.60 sobtained in Ref. 30 by solving the four-fermion problem exactlyd. A discussion about this difference will be given in Sec. IV.

46. The validity of the approximations for sid neglecting the wave vector and frequency dependence of the t matrix that enters the bosonic self-energy, and for siid replacing this t matrix by its value in vacuum, has been explicitly verified by a numerical calculation in the normal phase fcf.

47. 0(r) and n′(r) obtained within the Popov approximation do not coincide with those obtained within the Bogoliubov approximation.
