In the Results section under subheading ‘Scattering cancellation technique for heat diffusion waves: static regime’

“For , , therefore and all the other coefficients are zero.”

should read:

“For , with the heat generated by unit surface and unit time, in contrast to Q, of Eqs (1)–(2) that represents the heat generated by unit volume and unit time. Therefore and all the other coefficients are zero.”

In Equation (6),

should read:

And lastly, in Equation (7)

should read:
