<br>
<br>Hello everyone, 
<br>
<br>I am doing geometry optimization using cp2k for isopropanol alcohol (gas phase).  However, I don't know how to fix the error below: Can anyone help me with it? (I centered my molecule using         &CENTER_COORDINATES)
<br>*** WARNING in pw/ps_wavelet_methods.F:236 :: Density non-zero on the edges of the unit cell: wrong results in WAVELET solver 
<br>
<br>Will the cell size affect the geometry optimization results for single-molecule in the gas phase?  and do I have to use a cubic cell?
