5.5.5 Incremental DFT

INCDFT
       Toggles the use of the IncDFT procedure for DFT energy calculations.
TYPE:
       LOGICAL
DEFAULT:
       TRUE
OPTIONS:
       FALSE Do not use IncDFT TRUE Use IncDFT
RECOMMENDATION:
       Turning this option on can lead to faster SCF calculations, particularly towards the end of the SCF. Please note that for some systems use of this option may lead to convergence problems.

INCDFT_DENDIFF_THRESH
       Sets the threshold for screening density matrix values in the IncDFT procedure.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       SCF_CONVERGENCE + 3
OPTIONS:
       $n$ Corresponding to a threshold of ${10}^{-n}$.
RECOMMENDATION:
       If the default value causes convergence problems, set this value higher to tighten the threshold.

INCDFT_GRIDDIFF_THRESH
       Sets the threshold for screening functional values in the IncDFT procedure
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       SCF_CONVERGENCE + 3
OPTIONS:
       $n$ Corresponding to a threshold of ${10}^{-n}$.
RECOMMENDATION:
       If the default value causes convergence problems, set this value higher to tighten the threshold.

INCDFT_DENDIFF_VARTHRESH
       Sets the lower bound for the variable threshold for screening density matrix values in the IncDFT procedure. The threshold will begin at this value and then vary depending on the error in the current SCF iteration until the value specified by INCDFT_DENDIFF_THRESH is reached. This means this value must be set lower than INCDFT_DENDIFF_THRESH.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0 Variable threshold is not used.
OPTIONS:
       $n$ Corresponding to a threshold of ${10}^{-n}$.
RECOMMENDATION:
       If the default value causes convergence problems, set this value higher to tighten accuracy. If this fails, set to 0 and use a static threshold.

INCDFT_GRIDDIFF_VARTHRESH
       Sets the lower bound for the variable threshold for screening the functional values in the IncDFT procedure. The threshold will begin at this value and then vary depending on the error in the current SCF iteration until the value specified by INCDFT_GRIDDIFF_THRESH is reached. This means that this value must be set lower than INCDFT_GRIDDIFF_THRESH.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0 Variable threshold is not used.
OPTIONS:
       $n$ Corresponding to a threshold of ${10}^{-n}$.
RECOMMENDATION:
       If the default value causes convergence problems, set this value higher to tighten accuracy. If this fails, set to 0 and use a static threshold.
