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                                            #

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