Hi Hutter,
  I have another question. It seems that the objective function just 
include the eigenvalue of orbitals and no density charge. In principle, the 
objective function should include some atomic properties, such as 
eigenvalue of orbitals, density charge and location of node.
  With my best regards,
  Zhi
