Abstract
The unphysical solutions of the periodic Anderson model obtained by H. Keiter and T. Leuders [Europhys. Lett. 49, 801(2000)] in dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) are shown to result from the author's restricted choice of the functional form of the solution, leading to a violation of the analytic properties of the exact solution. By contrast, iterative solutions of the self-consistency condition within the DMFT obtained by techniques which preserve the correct analytic properties of the exact solution (e.g., quantum Monte-Carlo simulations or the numerical renormalization group) always lead to physical solutions.
