  64. A way to decrease the computational effort in higher dimension is to perform RG transformations before creating the new RG transformations; it is possible, because the (infinite-system) DMRG is a self consistent method. [1,45]

  65. The numerical precision in DMRG for a system with periodic boundary conditions is lower than that for a system with open boundary conditions. The reason can be understood by looking at the variational state written as a matrix product.
