B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.69.125344 69, 125344 (2004)] have studied the ground states of three fully spin-polarized electrons in anisotropic quantum dots at high magnetic fields. They used a configuration-interaction scheme with a multicenter basis of floating Gaussians centered around different sites. Unlike the present work, spin-dependent cases at low magnetic fields were not considered by Szafran et al.
