[CP2K-user] [CP2K:18530] Re: Evaluation of basis functions over a grid and computation of overlap integrals

[Aleksandros Sobczyk]

Update: I have also calculated several overlap integrals analytically (for 
s-orbitals which are simpler), they still don't match the values of the S 
matrix.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
