16. A discussion of models which can be solved exactly with the linked cluster expansion can be found in Sect. 4.3.F of Ref. [13]. Obviously, the full electron-phonon interaction (5) does not belong to this class.

18. We also note that the amplitude f(q) is small, because the electron and hole contributions tend to cancel for polar coupling. In particular, f(q) ≡ 0, if the electron and hole wave functions are equal, such as in an infinitely deep well.
