26. J of negative and positive critical current). In contrast to such "splintered" vortices (Refs. 40-42) which are not pinned, the fractional vortices discussed here are pinned at a k discontinuity. The mixture of both possibilities, i.e., a fractional vortex at the boundary between a w region with the second harmonic and a 0 region without the second harmonic is also possible (Ref. 42).

28. A fluxon has two trivial eigenvalues, i.e., at zero frequency swith multiplicity twod and at the edges of the plasma band (Ref. 31). The zero eigenvalue is due to the translational invariance. The eigenvalue at the edges of the plasma band bifurcates and becomes an internal mode in the presence of a perturbative term in the sine-Gordon equation.

36. The splitting of an eigenvalue out of the edges of the phonon band cannot be calculated using the formal expansion method. This is an indication of an exponentially small splitting of the eigenvalue.
