Dear Andrei Postnikov number 2:

You may know that one of the SIESTA
core members name is exactly Andrei Postnikov.,
such as yours.

So we have been a bit confused sometimes about
your questions thinking it was him.

May I kindly ask you to change your signature
name if possible? You may for example use a nickname,
or use a cardinal such as "Andrei Postnikov number 2"

It is just to avoid confusion ... I would ask him to do it,
but he was here first :o)

Thank you in advance,
Yours,

Jose A.

I am confused that the dDmax is zero in so many steps. However, it doest not reach convergence. Why?

I use the following DM paramteters:

DM.MixingWeight       0.05
DM.Tolerance          1.d-5
DM.NumberPulay         6
