 where $\ket{I_0}=\ket{i_0}$ is the initial state, $n_0$ is the number of times the walker remains in the domain of $\ket{i_0}$ (with $1 \le n_0 \le N+1$), $\ket{I_1}$ is the first exit state that does not belong to $\cD_{i_0}$, $n_1$ is the number of times the walker remains in $\cD_{i_1}$ (with $1 \le n_1 \le N+1-n_0$), $\ket{I_2}$ is the second exit state, and so on.
 Here, the integer $p$ (with $0 \le p \le N$) indicates the number of exit events occurring along the path. 
 The two extreme values, $p=0$ and $p=N$, correspond to the cases where the walker remains in the initial domain during the entire path, and where the walker exits a domain at each step, respectively.

+In what follows, we shall systematically write the integers representing the exit states in capital letter, while small letters will be used for 
+denoting the elementary states $\ket{i_k}$ generated with $p_{i \to j}$. Making this distinction is important since the effective 
+stochastic dynamics used in practical Monte Carlo calculations will only involve exit states, the contribution of the elementary states, $\ket{i_k}$, being 
+exactly integrated out.
+Figure \ref{fig2} exemplifies how a path can be decomposed as proposed in Eq.(\ref{eq:eff_series}).
+To make things as clear as possible, let us explicit in detail how the path drawn in Figure \ref{fig2} evolves in time.
+The walker realizing the path starts at $\ket{i_0}$ within the domain $\cD_{i_0}$. It then makes two steps to arrive at $\ket{i_1}$, then $\ket{i_2}$ and, finally, leaves the domain 
+at $\ket{i_3}$. The state $\ket{i_3}$ is the first exit state and is denoted as $\ket{I_1}(=\ket{i_3})$ following our convention of denoting exit states 
+with capital letters. The trapping time in $\cD_{i_0}$ is $n_0=3$ since three states of the domain have been visited 
+(namely, $\ket{i_0}$,$\ket{i_1}$,and $\ket{i_2}$).
+During the next steps the domains $\cD_{I_1}$, $\cD_{I_2}$, and $\cD_{I_3}$ are successively visited with $n_1=2$, $n_2=3$, and $n_3=1$, respectively. 
+The corresponding exit states are $\ket{I_2}=\ket{i_5}$, $\ket{I_3}=\ket{i_8}$, and $\ket{I_4}=\ket{i_9}$, respectively. This work takes advantage of 
+the fact that each possible path can be decomposed in this way.
 
 %Generalizing what has been done for domains consisting of only one single state, the general idea here is to integrate out exactly the stochastic dynamics over the 
 %set of all paths having the same representation, Eq.(\ref{eff_series}). As a consequence, an effective Monte Carlo dynamics including only exit states 
 %averages for renormalized quantities will be defined.\\

 It is easy to check that, in the vicinity of the exact energy $E_0$, $\cE(E)$ is a linear function of $E - E_0$.
 Therefore, in practice, we compute the value of $\cE(E)$ for several values of $E$, and fit these data using a linear, quadratic or a more complicated function of $E$ in order to obtain, via extrapolation, an estimate of $E_0$. 
 In order to have a precise extrapolation of the energy, it is best to compute $\cE(E)$ for values of $E$ as close as possible to the exact energy. 
 However, as $E \to E_0$, both the numerators and denominators of Eq.~\eqref{eq:calE} diverge.
