[Wien] Pt atom in a box

Dear all,

I am trying to calculate a Platinum atom in a box. The problem is, that
no convergence can be reached even after 100 iterations. The charge
distance seems to oscilate between values of 0.04-0.01.

Here are some details about the calculation:
The dimensions of the box are (13x14x15) bohr, the muffin-tin radius is
2.45 bohr.
The cutoff is 16 Ry and ROOT sampling is used for the k space
intergration.
I have tried using both the Gamma point, as well as shifting it.
For the mixing Broyden's scheme with a mixing factor of 0.01 is used.
Appart from a spin-polarized calculation, I have also tried a
fixed-spin-moment calculation, but to no avail.
I attach my case.struct,case.in* and case.klist files.

Any suggestion are welcome. Thank you in advance.
Regards
Mira
