Hello
I was doing a DFT transport calculation and I got a message in the output file as:
################################################################################
# WARNING #
# #
# The computed multigrid residual is greater than the required accuracy. #
# #
# Computed residual : 1.81808e-12 #
# Required accuracy : 1.00000e-12 #
# #

What parameter I should increase to reach the require accuracy?
the mess cut off?
k points or another one?
Thanks for your Help

If the residual is still so small it's absolutely nothing to worry about.
-
what if it is not that small?
The computed multigrid residual is greater than the required accuracy
# Computed residual : 5.79742e-09 #
# Required accuracy : 1.00000e-12

That's still small :)

It means that another iteration in the multigrid solver would only improve the the solution of the Poisson equation for the electrostatic by a 1e-9 Hartree.

my residual error is shown below.what is INF0e.Is this error is quite small or i have to worry?
Computed residual : 1.#INF0e+000 #

Infinity is not quite small...

thanks anders blom for your reply....actually i didnt know that INF means infinity.
