Description

Arguments made recently by Howard [Phys. Rev. A 51, 3934 (1995)] as to (i) the consequences of the nonexistence of an effective potential in the problem of a hydrogen atom in a circularly polarized microwave field, and (ii) the claimed advantages of his stability analysis as compared to methods based on harmonic expansion at an equilibrium point are examined. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
