| We address the problem of reliability of a finite-chain technique for CsNiF3. We investigate the effect of the boundary conditions, completely neglected so far, and apply a new extrapolation procedure appropriate for quantities showing non-monotonic behaviour. From a detailed analysis of the specific heat existing theoretical estimates for the model parameters are discriminated and a strong evidence for the reliability of the direct finite-chain technique predictions is presented. |
