21. Ir. Eq. (A10), the expression inside the curly brackets is a symbolic representation of a functional operator for In H; e.g., an ith power in this binomial expansion denotes a true power when applied to dU and dV, but it denotes the order of the derivative (on In H) when applied to the partial derivative operators.

23. This works because the values of P and β can be anywhere in the EoS extrapolation domain; they need not be at the state at which the simulation was performed and the EoS fitted.
24. Note that each of the fitted EoSs can be used even well outside its extrapolation domain where its predictions could be very poor; in such a case, however, its net contribution would be weighted down in Eq. (A15).
