To All responding to my initial thread: I'm amazed and encouraged by the response of the community to my problem. I will be trying your suggestions...e.g., a "rich man's" Wannier projection. Of course, this trapping into a "metastable state" is typical of many highly nonlinear systems of any type

Hello I refer to cations in solution (e.g., Fe2+/Fe3+). Indeed, I explored all parameters and concluded that "the" minimum can be safely found. The only problem is that for some configuration of the system and some particular value of the mixing_beta parameter the calculation ends on a local minim

we are interested in the limit for q->0. in this limit the total number of electrons does not change and the Fermi energy does not shift (since it is a q/=0 calculation) however the delta_n(q) = \sum_G chi(q,q+G) deltaV_0(q+G) = \sum_G chi0(q,q+G) [deltaV_0(q+G) + 4pi/(q+G)^2 de
