6. In our opinion melting should be driven by the shear stress, and sliding should occur as a result of melting.

10. 3 merge and disappear at δ>0.3 through a saddle-node bifurcation. Since in this case there is no fixed point at large δ, the granular layer fluidizes and the plate slips rapidly after the control parameter δ exceeds the critical bifurcation value. We ran simulations with such a modified order parameter equation without noise (data not shown) and found a qualitatively similar stick-slip behavior without noise excitation.
