Hello

I was doing a DFT transport calculation and I got a message in the output file as:

################################################################################

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.

[esp]

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                                            #

[Anders Blom]

Infinity is not quite small...

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