22. This result is obtained by applying the Baker-Hausdorff operator identity [see, e.g. G.H. Weiss and A.A. Maradudin, J. Math. Phys. 3, 771 (1962)] (Formula presented) twice, whereby the terms of order (Formula presented) vanish identically leaving only terms of order (Formula presented) and higher. (Formula presented) denotes the standard commutator.
