87. The equations of state can be obtained following three different routes 16: by thermodynamic integration of (Formula presented) by using the Clausius virial theorem, or by integration of the Maxwell relations between P, entropy, and total energy. As already known 16, due to the approximated nature of the HNC closure, the results of the three different routes do not coincide, i.e., the theory is thermodynamically inconsistent. The inconsistency can be partially removed by modifying the closure in such a way that it depends on a parameter. This parameter is usually fixed by requiring that the virial pressure is equal to the pressure calculated through the compressibility route. In this way a more accurate estimate of the spinodal line is obtained and, due to the thermodynamic consistency, also the binodal (or coexistence) line can be calculated. However the numerical procedures becomes much more computational-time consuming than the solution of the HNC equations without the thermodynamic consistency. Therefore, for an extensive investigation in the parameter space of the model potential, we choose to solve the integral equations in the HNC approximation without imposing thermodynamic consistency.
88. The overall shape of the instability line with two local maxima is consistent with the phase diagram derived by C. F. Tejero and M. Baus, Phys. Rev. E 57, 4821 (1998) within a van der Walls approach for an effective density-dependent interaction potential.

91. It is known that in finite systems a first-order transition gives rise to a transition region rather than a transition line (well defined only in the thermodynamic limit) 17.
