50. We find similar solitonic structure with a flatter trap or inside a box but we do not find similar structure in a trapped spin-1 condensate for c2 =0 or c2 >0. We note that multicomponent gap solitons of a spin-1 condensate in an optical lattice have been reported by B. J. Dabrowska-wüster, E. A. Ostrovskaya, T. J. Alexander, and Y. S. Kivshar, e-print cond-mat/0612104.
