13. The effect of hybridization in the final state of XAS can be disregarded, because the hybridization strength (smaller than 0.01 eV) is much smaller than the energy range of the XAS spectrum due to the multiplet splitting (larger than 10 eV) and the spectral broadening due to the lifetime of the core hole (about 1 eV).

17. The SIAM calculations in ref. 5 are different from the present ones not only in the different parameter values but also in that the field-induced valence transition was not treated as the first-order phase transition in ref. 5 and that the effect of magnetic impurities was disregarded in ref. 5.
