[Wien] Graphene + M

[Laurence Marks]

You are fundamentally misunderstanding what is taking place. You should not
be worried that the forces appear to be increasing. Please read *Mixing for
Dummies* carefully. Then read it a second time. Don't fiddle with case.inM,
the program almost certainly is doing a good job.

In DFT the energy is only variational at the final, converged density,
before then what Wien2k reports may be higher or lower than the true
energy. Also the forces are only accurate at the final converged density,
not before. THis is not standard optimization when you are always
improving, it is much more subtle.
