[CP2K-user] [CP2K:14294] Is there any basis set updating during Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics?

Dear Professor Kühne,
Thank you once again for your kind and prompt reply. May I know some
references for the basis set positions updating in MD used CP2K? I searched
the docs of CP2K, but did not find any literature about this point (overlap
integrals need to recomputed, MOLOPT, etc).
Thank you very much
