[CP2K:3792] Poisson solvers in QMMM

[Teodoro Laino]

Dear Frank,

you have already found the reasons. In order to have recoupling the only poisson solver working at the moment is multipole.
Nothing prevents you from implementing also for the other solvers something similar.
If instead you want to use cp2k as a black box, you have to stay within the implementation borders (see papers and regtests input provided): everything beyond that is not guaranteed to work.
Regards,
Teo

In the example from the previous post (using Multipole solver) the QM images are recoupled. If one just changes the Poisson solver to the Wavelet solver, no recoupling of the QM images is performed. This behaviour then further depends on the inclusion/exclusion of the non-optional section %FORCE_EVAL%QMMM%PERIODIC.
