      <p>I have checked that the same inequality in MLD, appears both
        when k-points are shifted or not shifted. So, influence of shift
        of k-points can be ruled out.</p>
      <p>I have 30x30x30 k-points, which should be enough. When using
        46x46x46 k-mesh, the MLD inequality is reduced by about factor
        two, but still present. Even when using very fine k-mesh
        (90x90x90) for optical calculation, the inequality persists.<br>

      <p>Well, for me it is hard to believe, that the problem can
        originates from numerical error. The MLD inequality creates
        sort-of ghost peaks in MLD spectra which for bcc Fe are very
        stable at positions at 4.8 and 6 eV for different calculation
        details (as different k-mesh, presence/absence of spin-orbit,
        shifted/non-shifted k-mesh). Under all those changes in the
        calculations, the position of ghost peaks remains very stable,
        just their amplitudes varies. Also, if problem would be just
        numerical one, why ghost peaks are not present in simple cubic
        or fcc calculations?<br>

      I tried to calculate various combinations of structure,
      (with/without SO or sp) using full (non-magnetic) bcc symmetry, or
      bcc symmetry reduced by presence of magnetization (i.e. it means

      In case of spin-polarized calculations without SO, the ghost MLD
      peaks appear when going from full bcc symmetry to bcc symmetry
      reduced by magnetization.<br>

      Therefore it seems to me that the ghost MLD peaks appear when
      symmetry is reduced in the bcc structure. It seems that SO
      coupling is not important in this problem.<br>
      It is the lower symmetry itself, which creates the MLD inequality
      (ghost MLD peaks).<br>
      <br>
      For example, can there be some small problem with generation of
      k-mesh or related symmetry in bcc+magnetization case?<br>
      <br>
      <br>
      Thank you for your help<br>
      With my best regards<br>
