Abstract

After a presentation of the paper cited above at a workshop on Dynamic Networks at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, Prof. Frank Ball in discussions explained two potential errors in our analysis. After further discussions, this was indeed confirmed. One mistake was an oversight, whereas the second one was more subtle. It turns out that the first mistake has impacts on the results of the paper, whereas the second one can be repaired and hence has no effect on the results
