Abstract

Gauss quadrature rules corresponding to weight functions (1 + x(2))(-n) on the interval (0,infinity) have been proposed (R.P. Sagar, V.H. Smith Jr. and A.M. Simas, Comput. Phys. Commun. 62 (1991) 16) for the evaluation of atomic momentum expectation values. In this comment it is shown that by using Gauss-Rational quadrature rules the results of Sagar et al. can be improved considerably for higher accuracy demands. In addition, it is pointed out that up to now there is no sufficient proof that their procedure is convergent. The usual proof for Gauss rules does not apply. The reason is that for weight functions of the above form a complete orthogonal system of polynomials is not available due to the divergence of the higher moment integrals.
