8. The charge density wave itself appears due to the lattice deformation; hence, the notion "interaction between the charge density wave and lattice" is conventional. However, this simple model of the interaction between two elastic bodies well describes the observed effects, as will be seen below.

19. More precisely, the distribution of the strain of the charge density wave is more complex: the exponential q(x) dependence can be observed near the contacts [7]. However, the model approximation is used for simplicity.
