66. In the present VMC procedure, if the energy barrier between the two local energy minima is sufficiently high, the optimized variational parameters are trapped in the local minima to which the initial parameter values tend. Thus, as seen in Figs. 3, 5, and 6, we can obtain the optimized values for both local minima by giving the respective initial parameters anticipated from those obtained for nearby data points. On the other hand, if the barrier becomes as low as the statistical fluctuation in E/t (we assume there are still two energy minima), the parameters readily arrive at the global minima, jumping over the barrier. Therefore, it is not easy to determine the values of U/t at which the double-minimum structure of E/t vanishes, namely, to draw the accurate hysteresis curves.
67. -2). Thereby, we estimated approximate values of μ for L = ∞ and t′ = 0 as μ = 0:912-0:945 for U/t = 6.75-10; as U/t increases, μ tends to increase.

70. The behavior of n(k) for finite values of t′/t is basically the same. In some cases, however, the position of the (quasi) Fermi surface moves as U/t increases and crosses a discrete k-point of the finite system. Then, it becomes difficult to accurately determine the values of Z as a function of U/t, because the position of the Fermi surface is not specified. For instance, the case of t′/t = -0:25 and L = 14 exhibits such inconvenient behavior.
71. c, ζ decreases to nearly zero, which is the value for t′/t = 0, but never becomes negative.

74. d(r) shown in Fig. 24(b) has extremely large values for the above values of U/t. This enhancement of SC is spurious, because there is no such remarkable behavior for L = 12 and 14. Such behavior sometimes appears near the critical value of t′/t, where predominant SC vanishes, and for specific system sizes, boundary conditions and model parameters. Also at this point, we need to check the system-size dependence.
75. d(r) in eq. (21) is useful, because we are interested in the occurrence of SC, particularly, near the Mott transition.
76. As L is increased, the magnitude of spikes gradually decreases. We need to use the systems of L = 30-50 in which the spikes for U/t = 0 appear negligible on the scale of Fig. 23.
