Dear Prof. Blaha:
  I am sorry to disturb you! I have two questions, which puzzle me for a long time. I will app-
reciate any help from you!
*******************************************************************  
  The configuration of my Wien2k08.3 computing system is as follows:
      ifort 10.1
      mkl 10.0
      cluster based on AMD architecture
*******************************************************************
  1. The ferromagnetic Nd2SrMn3O9 supercell is computed using GGA scheme. The Energy to separate 
core and valence states is selected as -9.0 Ry. APW method is only applied on d and f orbit-
als in case.in1_st. The Gmax is 14 and the energy convergence limit is 0.0001Ry.

The K-points in BZ are varied in the range of 500 to 2500, in order to find a appropriate
setting. In my opinion, the total energies tend to be identical with increasing k-pionts.
However, it is not the case. Are there some errors in my input files?

  2.  GGA+U scheme are employed to compute the antiferromagnetic Nd2SrMn3O9, in which the moments 
of Nd and Mn sublattce align antiparallel, with the command runsp_lapw. The electronic con-
figuration of Nd in case.inst is changed to form the antiferromagnetic arrangement of Nd and 
Mn sublattice. The computational details are similar with 1st question, except for case.inst, 
case.indm and case.inorb. The spin-orbit coupling is not included now, in order to check whether
the magnetic and electronic structures can give me reasonable results without SO coupling.

  The total energy fluctuate remarkably even for hundreds of mRy, leading to non-convergence. Are there
some errors in my input files? Which parameter in my input files should be tuned to improve the convergence? 
  Thanks in advance!
  Best regards!
                                                                     Yours sincerely Lin Zhu
