We regret making the following mistakes in the above mentioned paper [1] and using [2] we would like to correct them.
1. In condition (A2) of Definition 2.4, change ‘‘≤’’ to ‘‘<’’.
2. In condition (C2) of Definition 2.6, change ‘‘≤’’ to ‘‘<’’.
3. The Remark 2.1 should be rewritten as:

Remark 2.1. (a) By [2, Parts 1 and 2], the condition (C2) and ∀α∈A ∀ε>0 ∃η>0 ∀n∈N {ε ≤ Vα (T [n] (X )) < ε + η ⇒
∃m∈N {Vα (T [m+n] (X )) < ε}} are equivalent. (b) Using analogous argumentation as in (a) we conclude that the condition
(A2) and
∀α∈A ∀ε>0 ∃η>0 ∀n∈N {ε ≤ Vα (T [n] (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α (A, B) < ε + η
⇒ ∃m∈N {Vα (T [m+n] (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α (A, B) < ε}} (2.4)
are equivalent.
4. Page 4, lines 24 through 26 should be replaced with ‘‘Let 0 < Vα0 (T [n0 ] (A ∪ B))− DV ;α0 (A, B) < ∞ for some α0 ∈ A and
n0 ∈ N. Denoting ε0 = Vα0 (T [n0 ] (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α0 (A, B), by (2.4), we have ∃η0 >0 ∀k∈N {ε0 ≤ Vα (T [k] (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α0 (A, B) <
ε0 + η0 ⇒ ∃m0 ∈N {Vα0 (T [m0 +k] (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α0 (A, B) < ε0 }}. Hence, in particular, Vα0 (T [m0 +n0 ] (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α0 (A, B)
< ε0 = Vα0 (T [n0 ] (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α0 (A, B). This shows that (3.5) holds.’’.
5. Page 5, lines 9 through 12 should be replaced with
‘‘γα0 > 0. (3.15)
By (3.15) and (2.4), we conclude that ∃η(γα0 )>0 ∀n∈N {γα0 ≤ Vα0 (T (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α0 (A, B) < γα0 + η(γα0 ) ⇒
[n]

∃m∈N {Vα0 (T [m+n] (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α0 (A, B) < γα0 }}. However, by (3.12) and (3.8), ∃k0 ∈N, k0 ≥mα0 ∀n≥k0 {γα0 < Vα0 (T [n] (A ∪ B)) −
DV ;α0 (A, B) < γα0 + η(γα0 )}. Hence, ∀n≥k0 ∃m∈N {Vα0 (T [m+n] (A ∪ B)) − DV ;α0 (A, B) < γα0 } which, by (3.12), is impossible.
Therefore (3.14) holds. From (3.8) and (3.14) we obtain (3.7).’’.
6. Page 7, lines 35 through 36 should be replaced with ‘‘V (T [m] (A ∪ B)) = V ({1, 3}) = 2. Since DV (A, B) = 2, for each
ε > 0, we get V (T [m+n] (A ∪ B)) < DV (A, B) + ε ; thus (A2) holds. In consequence, (A ∪ B, T ) is V -RQAC on A ∪ B. Moreover,
assumptions (f) (for p = 2) and (g) (for q = 1) are satisfied.’’.
