Abstract

We show that the Reply of Weglein [Phys. Rev. A 31, 4025 (1985)] to our previous Comment [Phys. Rev. A 31, 4023 (1985)] is not valid.Received 18 September 1985DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.35.933©1987 American Physical Society

Reply to ‘‘Comment on ‘Optimization of approximate solutions to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation’ ’’

Arthur B. Weglein

A method for determining optimal approximate solutions of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation was previously presented by Weglein [Phys. Rev. A 17, 1810 (1978)]. Maidagan and Piacentini have written a comment (preceding Comment) on that work. Their conclusion is simply incorrect. We show precisely where the error in their reasoning occurred.

Comment on ‘‘Optimization of approximate solutions to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation’’

José M. Maidagan, Rubén Darío Piacentini

In a previous work [A. B. Weglein, Phys. Rev. A 17, 1810 (1978)], an optimization method to approximate solutions to the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation proposed by Chang and Rapp was further developed. We show that, if correct in a mathematical sense, it leads to results which are physically inadequate.
