[CP2K:5419] What's the reason cause the energy of last image increase after BAND optimization converged for transition state search?

Hi, Teo

Finally, I figure out. Only when I include all those three parameters in 
the BAND calculation will not optimize the first and last images. 

Thanks for your suggestion.
