Dear Pr. Blaha,
Thank you very much for your help ! I compared with the result given by x lapw2 -qtl and my integration inside the spheres gives the same results (which is already a good point).
However, the integration in the interstitial part is still puzzling me as it seems to give the good answer for occupied states (the sum of the interstitial and spheres ~ 1) but does not for the unoccupied states ...
I will go through the maths and the routines once again ! If you have any suggestion or know some similar routine which are worth looking at, I would be please to hear from you !
Thank you again for your help and suggestions,
Best regards,
Leandro

Your approach seems right.
Use x lapw2 -qtl to get the partial charges inside the spheres for
each eigenvalue.
You can compare this with your normalization program for the parts
inside the sphere.
