[Wien] LDA+U changed between the versions?

[mazin]

Laurence,

Thanks for your comments. It is a good idea to download a newer version 
anyway, but unfortunately my problem is of different sort. I can 
converged to the machine accuracy both calculations, WIEN2k_07 and 
WIEN2k_09, and the results are physically different. I have no problem 
with convergence in either case, and can verify manually that both 
calculations are fully converged. The problem is therefore unrelated to 
a possible bug in the mixing scheme.

Jianxin,
Ce in some compounds is in mixed valence state or close to that. In 
those cases, you may have problems with convergence, and you should be 
careful fighting these problems, because even if you manage to converge 
the calculations, that may be a rather unphysical solution. In CeTe3 Ce 
is not close to mixed valency so there is no problem with convergence. 
Neither should there be any with pnictides, assuming you are talking 
about U on Fe, except that LDA+U is completely unphysical for these 
materials.
