However, we have confirmed that the computed results hardly depend upon the lattice system if the model of a 2D circular dot is filled with the lattice points. In our model, the errors in noninteracting quantum level at zero magnetic field for the 3- and 4-fold level degeneracies in the third and fourth shells are less than 1 percent, for example, which are small enough for observing Hund's rule in the Coulomb interacting system.
