9. Nemirovskii recently discussed the same problem by formulating and analyzing the rate equation of the system [S. K. Nemirovskii, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.015301 96, 015301 (2006)]. The author succeeded in deriving the power law VLD with α=5 2 by considering only the situation in which there is no net flow of length in infinite l space. However, there must be net flow during the decay and the l space must be limited in real quantum turbulence. Therefore, more studies are eagerly anticipated to understand the emergence of the power-law VLD.

17. The polygons made by Eq. 1 tend to have more complex knots as N increases [K. Tsurusaki and T. Deguchi, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. JUPSAU 0031-9015 64, 1506 (1995)]. However, vortex filament loops of various scales in actual turbulence should have statistically the same topology as long there is self-similarity over the scales. Hence, we opted to control not N but s.
