[CP2K:15] DCACP potentials

[Juerg Hutter]

Hi Axel

the situation with the DCACP potentials is even more
difficult. The Quickstep code assumes that the sparsity
in the Kohn-Sham matrix and the basis set overlap matrix are
identical. This is a good assumption as long as you
don't have truly non-local potentials, e.g. Hartree-Fock
exchange or the DCACP potentials.
It's clear that this assumption has to be considered
a bug and we will have to remove this assumption.
However, this is not easy and some really basic
routines will have to be changed.

Currently, you can only use these potentials for small
isolated systems (like in QM/MM) where there is no
sparsity in the overlap matrix.

To get a truly general and efficient code for the DCACPs
one has to come up with a new clever idea.

best regards

Juerg
