36. ∞, the authors assumed a 1/N dependence in addition to the existence of the long-time tail.
37. To increase the statistical accuracy, we have used 64 different MD trajectories. Each trajectory starts from a different set of initial particles' velocities sampled from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, and has a similar time length as those for the identical particles.
