Hello again,
has nobody any ideas concerning that problem?
I hoped that Dr. Bálint Aradi could help, since he is the co-author of
the paper cited.
Because it is an easy calculation it should not be a problem to
reproduce reported results.
For this reason I think this should be discussed because it directly
affects the transferability of the code.
Thanks for helping.
