66. In several cases, the results are averaged over approximately 100 simulations, at least more than 88 simulations.
67. In general, to make a non-equilibrium behavior visible, Boltzmann's H-function or the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy has been employed. However, in systems with long-range interactions, the H-function is not suitable for observing the non-equilibrium behavior, because the potential energy varies temporally. Moreover, in those systems, it is difficult to discuss the thermodynamics or the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics in the standard formalism, due to the long-range interactions and to their nonadditivity, since the Newtonian potential is singular and has infinite range. Note that, for preparing the present initial density profile, we employ the result obtained from the mean field theory which assumes the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. This is because we consider a closed spherical system with a reflecting wall; i.e., the present system is confined in a finite volume.
68. This doesn't mean the ratio of velocity moments is the most suitable for observing the non-equilibrium behavior.
69. This is because, if a particle reaches a reflecting wall, the radial component of the velocity is suddenly reversed and the particle position is changed.

73. A finite difference method, such as Verlet's algorithm, incurs two types of errors: truncation errors and round-off errors [72]. That is, global errors in total energy are composed of truncation errors and round-off errors. In the present simulation, the global errors are dominated by truncation errors and, therefore, the global errors decrease with decreasing Δ t. However, for a smaller time increment, the global errors are dominated by round-off errors.
