We reported that the pair-pair correlation function of the two-dimensional
t-J model does not have long-range d-wave superconducting correlations in t
he interesting parameter range of J/t less than or equal to 0.5. The power-
Lanczos method is used under the assumption of monotonic behavior. This ass
umption has been well checked in the two-dimensional t-J and attractive Hub
bard model. Here we re-examine this criterion of monotonic behavior of the
pairing correlation function for the one-dimensional and two-leg t-J ladder
where other accurate numerical results are available. The method seems to
be working well.
