Dear Prof. Tran
regarding your suggestion about ' nband' in case.inhf.
In the Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 compound I would like to use B3LYP, while the occupation number is about 11 at the case.scf.
The question is that when I put any numbers less than 100 the error appears due to the less value of 'nband' and calculation is stoped.   
What is your advice?
 Wwith Best Regards
Ali

Search for :BAN in case.scf. The last column is the occupation number.

But the value of "nband' at case.inhf is confusing. on the page 97 of UG has mentioned "  .... nband should be at least equal to the number of (partially) occupied bands plus one". While at the line 5 of case.in1 the value of nband is automatically determined ( UG page 102) by "   nband = ne ∗ 2.0 + 5 " which is number of eigenvalues. Can we consider inband of case.inhf is equals: (eigenvalues -5)/2+1 which is extracted from case.in1?
