The formula for \(D_{3}x\) given below equation (A9) is wrong for discontinuous g, and equation (A8) is also wrong. An easy way to see this is that for large \(\tau \) values it does not provide a solution for (A3) (with adapted initial condition) as it should. As a result, the expressions for \(D_{2}X\), the derivatives for the survival probability and the \(\varPsi ^{i}\) appearing in the characteristic matrix also need correction. Our implementations have been for continuous g and all graphs presented are correct. The mistake is related to a mistake in Diekmann et al. (2010) that appeared around the same time. For the correct formula we refer to a recently submitted corrigendum of Diekmann et al. (2010) as well as to Breda et al. (2015). The latter also contains a derivation of the correct formula.
