Abstract

In this Comment, we point out that the Euler-Lagrange equations, which are referred to as the general equilibrium equations by Zhao are incorrect along with the equations which are derived from them. The correct equations are provided in this Comment. We produce new numerical results with the use of the correct equations. © 2013 American Physical Society.
