26. In Dalitz analysis of D meson three-body decays it is common to visualize results of the fit as projections on mass squared variables. Because of the large mass of the B meson, we find that visualization is more convenient in terms of mass variables.

28. Note that B+→χc0K+ channel is excluded while calculating branching fraction for the total B+→K+π+π- and B+→K+K+K- three-body charmless decays.
29. At the time of the preparation of this manuscript for publication, preliminary results on amplitude analysis of B+→K+π+π- decay have been reported by BaBar Collaboration: hep-ex/0408032. All the quasi-two-body branching fraction results from Belle and BaBar analyses are in good agreement. The comparison of relative phases is more uncertain due to differences in signal parametrizations and limited statistics.

33. Statistical significance of the signal is calculated as -2ln (L0/Lmax), where Lmax and L0 denote the maximum likelihood with the nominal signal yield and with the signal yield fixed at zero, respectively.
