OT eigensolver problem

[Matt W]

Just to be a bit clearer - your ground state density is converged - which 
means that your occupied orbitals are converged.

But, the OT method only works with the occupied orbitals. To get unoccupied 
orbitals an extra computation needs to be done. 

You ask for extra unoccupied states in the PDOS section (maybe elsewhere 
too, I've only looked very quickly).

CP2K then uses some algorithm, maybe Gram Schmitt or similar to build 
unoccupied orbitals that are orthogonal to the occupied ones.

This is the bit of the calculation that is not converging and where Samuel 
suggests you allow CP2K to carry out extra iterations.

HTH,

Matt
