<div dir="ltr">I have said this many times; reducing the mixing parameter (correctly called the greed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm</a>) is not a clever thing to do. While the general written and unwritten literature says that this is an appropriate thing to do, it is WRONG and a complete misunderstanding of what mixing algorithms really do.

<div dir="ltr">Dear wien2k users,
<div><br>
</div>
<div> I have simulated properties of one titanate based oxide materials with GGA+U. The structure contains 56 inequivalent atoms. The simulated properties are well confronted with experimental properties. However, while the optimized
structure obtained with GGA+U is used to simulate electronic structure with mbj potential, ghostband error arises for p orbital of one of the oxygen atom of the compound. Can anybody figure out the possible cause for this error?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Computational parameters are: Rmt*Kmax=7, K-points=14, Port mixing scheme with mixing parameter 0.2. However, even after decreasing the mixing parameter to 0.05 the same error appears for another oxygen atom of the structure.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance.</div>
