Due to a regrettable error, a very important correction in the author name was not properly carried out in the last stage of the publication process of the above-mentioned paper.

The first author’s name is inadvertently displayed as Tikov Belem while the correct name should be Tikou Belem.

The publisher apologizes for this unfortunate mistake.
