26. This could be interpreted as constituting "nongeneric" conditions, which were excluded in LCW theorem, but it applies in many relevant physical systems and constitutes well-known physical phenomenon such as coherent population trapping, which is a basis for spontaneous emission cancellation, stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, Raman adiabatic passage of optical states (RATOS), and velocity-selective coherent population trapping; therefore it is best dealt with explicitly in a tightened version of the theorem.

33. For the Markovian setting Ref. presented an alternative definition of a DFS and, for a given partition of the system Hilbert space and a specific representation, determined conditions on the jump operators and effective system Hamiltonian for a given subspace to be DF (theorem 3 in Ref.); this theorem can be used to verify the DFS determined by theorem 6 but unlike theorem 6, it does not provide a constructive method for determining the states in the DFS.
