Abstract

In a recent paper Das etal. [J. Chem. Phys. 147, 164102 (2017)JCPSA60021-960610.1063/1.4999408] proposed the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) for the Brownian harmonic oscillator in the presence of a magnetic field and the non-Markovian thermal bath, respectively. This system has been studied very recently by Hidalgo-Gonzalez and Jiménez-Aquino [Phys. Rev. E 100, 062102 (2019)PREHBM2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.100.062102] and the Fokker-Planck equation was derived using the characteristic function. It includes a few extra terms in the FPE and the authors conclude that their method is accurate compared to the calculation by Das etal. Then we reexamine our calculation and which is present in this comment. The revised calculation shows that both methods give the same result.
