[CP2K-user] [CP2K:15305] Convergence issue for GAPW without ADMM

[ma...@gmail.com]

Dear Augustin,

I actually have tried lowering EPS_SCHWARZ to even 1E-16, but the SCF still 
didn't converge. 
The calculation was run using GAPW without ADMM. I didn't use ADMM in this 
calculation. But it is quite weired that pob-TZVP with GAPW cannot 
converge. I don't know what is the reason causing instability.

Thanks,
Hongyang
