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 </span><span>automatically </span><span>determined ( UG page 102) by " nband = ne ∗ 2.0 + 5 " which is number of eigenvalues. Can we consider inband of case.inhf is equals: </span><span>(eigenvalues -5)/2</span><span> +1 which is extracted from case.in1?<br> <br></span></div><div><span>Best Regards</span></div><div><span>Ali</span></div></div></body></html>
