43. A. Ahmed and R. J. Sadus, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 174504 (2009); Ahmed and Sadus imposed the constraint of constant well depth but not the constraint of fixed well depth location. It can be shown, however, that the potentials used in this work and in that of Ahmed and Sadus can be mapped onto each other by rescaling. 10.1063/1.3253686

58. W. Kauzmann, Chem. Rev. 43, 219 (1948). The temperature discussed by Kauzmann in his classic paper is that at which the entropies of the liquid and crystal phases of a given substance become equal. We use instead the common definition of the Kauzmann temperature in the contemporary literature on the glass transition, namely the temperature at which the entropy associated with the exploration of distinct configurations appears to vanish. 10.1021/cr60135a002
59. As shown by us [F. H. Stillinger, P. G. Debenedetti, and T. M. Truskett, J. Phys. Chem. B 105, 11809 (2001)], the former is experimentally attainable and is logically disconnected to the presence of an ideal glass transition. 10.1021/jp011840i
