If your present calculation "diverged", I'd restore the GGA+U calculation.

Dear Prof. Blaha,
                       By grid to 0.01, I mean the mixing parameter in case.inm ( I change 0.2 to 0.01). For a trial can I check by reducing the alpha from 0.25 to 0.05 in case.inhf now? Or I need to start with 0.05 as alpha from the scratch?

Looking forward to your reply.

with regards,

    I'm not too surprised. In HSE there is not only a dependency on the
    density (which is "mixed") but also on the wave functions. This HF
    potential due to them is "mixed" with 100 %.

    Maybe it helps when using a small alpha at the beginning (0.05 instead
    of 0.25) for the amount of HF (case.inhf), later on increase it when
    reasonably converged.

    PS: I would probably not play with PRATT (except you can clearly
    decrease :DIS significantly without oszillations) and I don't know what
    you mean with:  "grid to 0.01" ???
