One might expect that a ramp potential without an attractive part cannot have a critical point. This is indeed true for P=0 and for small values of P. However, for large enough P, there will appear two minima in the Gibb's free energy G=U-TS+PV, one at r= σ0 and the other at r= σ1 (cf. the discussion in the caption to Fig. 3(a) of Ref.). Thus the length scales r= σ0 and r= σ1 where the ramp begins and ends play the role of two attractive wells at r= σ0 and r= σ1.

22. The pressure is defined as P=nkT+ W (N) 3V, where W (N) is the virial expression and n is the number density [see, e.g., M. P. Allen and D. J. Tildesley, Computer Simulations of Liquids (Oxford University Press, New York, 2004)]. Therefore, since in the present case the ramp potential number density doubles, the value of pressure also doubles.
