Hi Philipp

equation (5.36) only determines what should be the highest and the lowest
exponent.  How many exponents you put in between, i.e., how many sets you
have, is (as so often when optimizing localized basis sets) a bit of a
trial and error procedure. There is no strict guideline. I basically tested
a few auxiliary basis sets with a different number of exponent, i.e. I
varied the parameter "m" in Equation (5.36) using some subsets of the
GMTKN24 benchmark suite. I then simply compared LRIGPW and GPW. Maybe you
can take  some small cobalt clusters to test?

Best regards,
Dorothea
