11. To describe a system in which both quantum dots are coupled to one common electron reservoir, one has to replace aki by ak and to take into account the relative signs of the dot-level tunnel matrix elements, making a distinction between the "in-phase" and the "out-of-phase" scenario [A. Silva, Y. Oreg, and Y. Gefen, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.66. 195316 66, 195316 (2002)]. On the level of calculations performed in this paper the results for all these models are identical.
12. Nonmonotonic charge occupation is already found when replacing the reservoirs by single levels [P. Pou, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.62.4309 62, 4309 (2000);

14. To the order our perturbation theory is carried out, renormalizations of the golden-rule broadenings Γ1, Γ2 are not taken into account [see, however, J. König, Y. Gefen, and G. Schön, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.81.4468 81, 4468 (1998)].
