In general it seems to match quite well, with two exceptions:
i) You have a couple of VERY flat bands, which don't show up in the DOS.
The reason for this is your E-mesh (case.int). The DOS is calculated
ONLY on this E-grid. And you have so flat bands (f-electrons?) that they
do not fall on this energy grid, but in between.
Try to decrease the delta-E (case.int) unless you get the desired DOS
for the flat bands. (I assume, you are using a "good" kmesh for the DOS.)
ii) On the other hand, I can also see some DOS at an energy, where you
don't have bands ....
This leads me to speculate that you are using LDA+U or ... ?
And you forgot to add the -orb switch to x lapw1 -up -band -orb
PS: Next time create a low resolution jpg file and attach a small file.
