GENERALIZED SADDLE-POINT METHOD FOR FESHBACH RESONANCES - REPLY

It is argued that the saddle-point method developed by Chung [Phys. Rev. A 20, 1743 (1979)] may be considered in the category of orthogonalization to the open-channel space, and that the generalization of the method introduced by Bylicki offers a precise prescription for implementation of the original formulation by Chung. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
