25. Note that as α→0, Eq. 11 is no longer a good approximation to Eq. 4 with ρ(r) given by Eq. 6 -i.e., the overlap between the density peaks on neighboring lattice sites becomes significant. In practice, this occurs in regions of the phase diagram where the system is a fluid. However, one must be aware that as α→0, Eq. 11 gives a spurious divergence → in the free energy.

29. This is due to the fact that the DFT with exess Helmholtz free energy given by Eq. 8 reduces to the lattice sum. Hence, the fcc and/or bcc transition is driven by the duality relations of the GCM, first noticed by Stillinger-see Refs..

31. When the difference in coexisting densities is small, the conditions for coexistence between phases of equal pressures and chemical potentials in the two phases become equivalent to equating the free energies F in the two phases.
