Hi
your error for the valence states is rather large. I would
not use this pseudo. I usually try to get within
a factor of 3 to the target values.

Hi Hutter,
Thank you so much! I followed your suggestions and I finally get some reasonable results though I haven't obtained very good convergence. I try to use the GTH parameters of Ce as initial guess to generate the GTH parameter of Pr. My parameter is:
&POWELL
ACCURACY 1.e-14
STEP_SIZE 0.08
STEP_SIZE_SCALING 0.90
MAX_INIT 50
MAX_FUN 100
WEIGHT_PSIR0 0.0
TARGET_POT_SEMICORE [eV] 0.003000
TARGET_POT_VALENCE [eV] 0.000300
TARGET_POT_VIRTUAL [eV] 0.003000
SEMICORE_LEVEL [eV] 15.0
WEIGHT_POT_NODE 10.0
WEIGHT_POT_SEMICORE 10.0
WEIGHT_POT_VALENCE 5.0
WEIGHT_POT_VIRTUAL 2.0
&END
&END ATOM
I give a large STEP_SIZE at first, and then I decrease the STEP_SIZE by order for the following restarts. The optimization results are:

It still needs several steps restart. I have a question about the "optimal parameter". what is the standard for us to choose the best parameter? I just try to find the best parameter which can make the objective function lowest for each optimization.
With my best regards,
Zhi

as said before, there is no unique solution to the problem.
I gave you the parameters I use, but you can change them at your
will. Use what works best for you.
Yes, I also use frequent restarts with adjustments of parameters.

Hi Hutter,
Thank you! I try to change the STEP_SIZE and MAX_FUN. I use the optimal parameter, and it can work.
There is another problem. We will choose a series parameters as initial guess for pseudopotential optimization. Then we use the so-called optimal STEP_SIZE and MAX_FUN. But we always need to restart the optimization using the pseudopotential parameter of previous step as initial guess. Do we still use the same STEP_SIZE and MAX_FUN? I just use the same value. But I think we need to use adaptive STEP_SIZE. I know it is very hard to change the STEP_SIZE for each restart.
By the way, I think we should also test the weight for each item in objective function.
With my best regards,
Zhi

as I said in the last comment - it is an art - to choose the
best parameter. You need some experience to get "optimal"
performance/convergence.
I usually play with these parameters
STEP_SIZE 0.08
MAX_INIT 50
MAX_FUN 250
STEP_SIZE_SCALING 0.90
Start with large STEP_SIZE (0.1) and small MAX_FUN (50-100)
and end with small STEP_SIZE (0.00001) and large MAX_FUN(5000).

Hi Hutter,
I find I need to restart the optimization for many times. It always needs 5000 restarting calculations using previous step GTH parameters. This process is so slow. How can I speed up this process?
With my best regards,
Zhi
在 2018年12月12日星期三 UTC-8下午11:56:59，jgh写道：Hi
for many atoms you have to restart the optimization frequently
until you reach sufficient convergence.
For the restart you copy the GTH-PARAMETER to your input.
Optimization is a kind of art. Choosing the parameter in the
POWELL section is important for good performance. Still, it takes
me often several 10'000 steps to reach reasonable results.

Hi Hutter,
Thank you! I use your input file to generate the pseudopotential of Ti and I can reproduce your result. But I still have a question, the initial guess is nearly same with the final optimized pseudopotential. How can we get the better initial guess? These parameters include the R^cut and coefficients in non-local part and R^cut for each channel and h^ij coefficients in the local part.
With my best regards,
Zhi

the optimization of GTH pseudos is not unique. Depending on your
object function, starting point and convergence you can get rather
different results. The performance of all these different pseudos
should be rather similar though.
There are also elements that can be tricky to get and many repeated
optimizations and some 'magic' is needed to get good results.

Subject: [CP2K:11041] Generate the GTH pseudopotential by ATOM
Hello,
I need to generate the GTH pseudopotential and hope to use ATOM code in CP2K. But I find it is a little hard for me. The only thing I can do is just changing the initial guess of pseudopotential parameters. But there are so many parameters in GTH pseudopotential. The optimized pseudopotential changes slightly compared with initial guess. Can anyone tell me how to generate the GTH pseudopotential correctly by ATOM? I will be very appreciated!
Best regards,
Zhi
