Sorry for the bad English. It should read: In cases of non-spinpolarized spin-orbit calculations WITHOUT inversion symmetry .... > As I understand, the first sentence is saying that the case is non-spin > polarized but has no "Inversion symmetry" and no "spin-orbit coupling". > 2/ Another question: > > Does the current "OPTICS" support the LDA+U?
