    "abstract": "The influence of the boundary conditions used in the Wigner-Seitz\napproximation applied to the neutron star inner crust is examined. The\ngeneralized energy functional method which includes neutron and proton pairing\ncorrelations is used. Predictions of two versions of the boundary conditions\nare compared with each other. The uncertainties in the equilibrium\nconfiguration (Z,R_c) of the crust, where Z is the proton charge and R_c the\nradius of the Wigner-Seitz cell, correspond to variation of Z by 2 -- 6 units\nand of R_c, by 1 -- 2 fm. The effect of the boundary conditions is enhanced at\nincreasing density. These uncertainties are smaller than the variation of Z and\nR_c coming from the inclusion of pairing. The value of the pairing gap itself,\nespecially at high density, can depend on the boundary condition used.",
