Hi

The accounting of charges in the GAPW method is somewhat
difficult to grasp. As you can see from your output, the
total charge missmatch (10 electrons are expected) is
0.0000004277 electrons. Not that much.
In GAPW only part of the electrons are handled on the
r-space grid (-8.0116336378 in your case), the other
are accounted for using atomic grids.
If you want to understand the other values printed I
would advice you to have a look into the papers
printed at the end of the output.

best regards

Juerg Hutter
