60. We point out that in a recent paper [J. H. H. Perk and H. Au-Yang, J. Stat. Phys. 135, 599 (2009) 10.1007/s10955-009-9758-5
61. We checked that the exponential decay rates do not depend on the waiting time t 0, provided this is sufficiently large.
62. The fictitious temperature β k defined in Eq. depends on mode k also at criticality, since it is obtained by equating the contribution to the total energy due to a single-mode population. Therefore in principle there is no connection with the effective thermodynamic temperature β of Eq. This is the case even at Γ c, where the system exhibits a true thermal behavior in the sense of standard statistical ensembles.
