Thank you very much Sir,
I have done all provided exercise on TiC and NiO without any issue but
I have to do some tests for TiO2 (let me do it).

I know how to apply U. If the below mentioned structure file looks
okay to you then, is there any chance to converse it with applying U
with Pr and Mn?


I took the structure file from a repository and the original file is here:
I could run the scf (min -j ......................) with 3% reduced
rmt and then be taking care of rmt responsible for overlapping.
without any error. However, it converged after three long scf cycle.
