44. The solutions are obtained by using a standard steepest descent algorithm for the imaginary time evolution, see, e.g., W. H. Press, Numerical Recipes (Cambridge University Press, New York, 1986).
45. The wavelengths of the transitions D1 and D2 for R 87 b are λ1 =794.979nm and λ2 =780.246nm, respectively.
46. These equations are transformed by projecting the functions u and v on a Fourier basis, and the resulting matrix equations are solved by means of LAPACK routines.
