16. We denote the wave vector at point K (K′) by K (K′): K = (2π/3a, 2π/√3a) and K′ = (4π/3a, 0).
17. The constant term that is linear in u can be absorbed into the chemical potential and gives no contribution.
18. The wave function is small, but finite because we consider two vacancies, one of which is located on sublattice 1 and the remaining one is on sublattice 2. If we considered a single vacancy, the wave function would exactly vanish on the same sublattice point as the one where the vacancy is. See also the Appendix.

25. As shown in the Appendix, a vacancy on sublattice 1 and a vacancy on sublattice 2 are actually not independent. When the concentration is small, however, the effect of interference is small.
26. Around a vacancy on sublattice 2, the density ρ(r) on sublattice 1 significantly decreases.
