Abstract

The proposed algorithm by Philippe D'Arco et al. 2013 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 25 355401 was not well compared with other possible solutions for symmetry independent configuration (SIC) generation. In this comment, three well known solutions of SIC searching are discussed: exhaustive explorations, pure random sampling and " symmetry imposed " approaches. It is shown, that the advantages of the algorithm published by Philippe D'Arco et al. are questionable
