Popis: We present a direct comparison between the stroboscopic and non-stroboscopic effective approaches for ultracold atoms in shaken honeycomb lattices, focusing specifically on the optimal driving introduced by A. Verdeny and F. Mintert [Phys. Rev. A 92, 063615 (2015)]. In the fast-driving regime, we compare the effective non-stroboscopic Hamiltonian derived through a perturbative expansion with a non-perturbative calculation of the stroboscopic Floquet Hamiltonian, obtained through a simple non-perturbative numerical approach. We show that while some of the tunneling parameters are inherently model-dependent, the topological properties of the system remains robust, as expected. Using the same numerical approach we compute the topological phase diagram, arguing that it is most effectively represented in terms of the physical parameters characterizing the driving and the bare Hamiltonian -- parameters directly accessible in experiments -- rather than the emergent tunneling parameters, that depend on the model representation.
