text: circular throughout the dewetting and evaporation process. In this case one should interprete the 
  
  coordinate x as the distance from the centre of the circular ﬁlm. 
  
  We start with a ﬁlm of height h0 of ﬁnite length sitting on a precursor ﬁlm and assume that the ﬁlm 
  
  contains nanoparticles at constant concentration φ0. The chosen parameter values ensure that the 
  
  ﬁlm of thickness h0 is linearly stable. As we do not incorporate noise, no nucleation of additional 
  
  holes can occur (even with noise the probability would be extremely low). Without evaporation the 
  
  ﬁlm dewets ‘classically’ by a retraction of the initially step-like front. After a short time, surface 
  
  tension smoothes the proﬁle of the receding front and a capillary rim forms that collects all the
