         <info>
When set to .true., turbo_davidson.x will attempt to restart

was specified.
Beware, if set to .false. turbo_davidson.x will OVERWRITE any
previous runs.

      <var name="num_init" type="INTEGER" >
         <default> 2
         </default>
         <info>
Number of trial vectors. Usually it is twice as large as
the number of eigenstates to be calculated (see <ref>num_eign</ref>).
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="if_random_init" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .false.
         </default>
         <info>
When set to .true. trial vectors are chosen randomly, otherwise
they are guessed from the ground-state calculation.
If <ref>p_nbnd_occ</ref> * <ref>p_nbnd_virt</ref> &lt; <ref>num_init</ref>, this term
is forced to be .true. The usage of random trial vectors should
cause only a slower convergence, and do not affect the final results.

      <var name="num_basis_max" type="INTEGER" >
         <default> 20
         </default>
         <info>
Maximum number of basis vectors allowed in the subspace.
When this number is reached, a discharging routine is called.
The memory requirement of the Davidson algorithm is mainly
determined by this variable (an estimation of the memory
is reported at the beginning of the run).
         </info>

      <var name="residue_conv_thr" type="REAL" >

      <var name="single_pole" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .false.
         </default>
         <info>
A slightly better way to set the initial trial vectors,
but the improvement is really small. Currently this flag
can be used only with LDA/PBE + NC PPs. So do not use
it unless it is really necessary.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="if_dft_spectrum" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .false.
         </default>
         <info>
When set to .true. the independent particle approximation
is used, i.e. the Hartree and exchange-correlation response
contributions are neglected.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="reference" type="REAL" >
         <default> 0.0d0
         </default>
         <info>
Reference energy in units of Ry. This variable is used
to constrain the Davidson algorithm to converge the eigenstates
having the energy closest to the reference energy. In this way
one can calculate less eigenstates at once, and to perform multiple
calculations with different reference energies (the post-processing
code tddfpt_calculate_spectrum.x can be used for this purpose).

      </var>
      <var name="broadening" type="REAL" >
         <default> 0.005d0
         </default>
         <info>
Lorentzian broadening (Ry) to broaden the absorption spectrum.

      <var name="start" type="REAL" >
         <default> 0.0d0
         </default>
         <info>
The lower limit of the energy (Ry) scale for the spectrum calculation.

      <var name="p_nbnd_occ" type="INTEGER" >
         <default> 10
         </default>
         <info>
Number of occupied states selected from the total number
of occupied states computed by PWscf. This variable is
useful if there are too many occupied states but your
are interested in only some of them.
In priciple this variable and <ref>p_nbnd_virt</ref> affect only
the interpretation of the eigenstates, but do not effect
their energy and the final absorption spectrum.
Make sure that min(p_nbnd_occ,nbnd_occ)*min(p_nbnd_virt,nbnd_virt)
is lager than the number of initial vectors (<ref>num_init</ref>),
so you will not end up using random trial vectors which would
slow down the convergence.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="p_nbnd_virt" type="INTEGER" >
         <default> 10
         </default>
         <info>
Number of empty states selected from the total number
of empty states computed by PWscf. This variable is
useful if there are too many empty states but your
are interested in only some of them.
In priciple this variable and <ref>p_nbnd_occ</ref> affect only
the interpretation of the eigenstates, but do not effect
their energy and the final absorption spectrum.
Make sure that min(p_nbnd_occ,nbnd_occ)*min(p_nbnd_virt,nbnd_virt)
is lager than the number of initial vectors (<ref>num_init</ref>),
so you will not end up using random trial vectors which would
slow down the convergence.

      <var name="poor_of_ram" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .false.
         </default>
         <info>
Use this variable if you do not have enough RAM (only USPP),
i.e. set it to .true. When this variable is set to .false.,
you double the memory used for the USPP calculation, but you
increase a speed of the calculation by getting rid of
applying many times of s_psi and cal_bec in the
calculation, which takes a lot of time (sometimes more than
a half of the whole calculation) when the size of the
subspace is more than 100.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="poor_of_ram2" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .false.
         </default>
         <info>
Use this variable if you do not have enough RAM (NCPP and USPP),
i.e. set it to .true. When this variable is set to .false.,
you double the memory used for the calculation, but you
increase a speed of the calculation by storing D_ and C_
basis: the calculation will be speeded up a lot when
one is calculating many transitions at the same time.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="max_iter" type="INTEGER" >
         <default> 100
         </default>
         <info>
Maximum number of Davidson iterations allowed. When the
number of iterations arrives this number, the calculation
will stop even if the convergence has not been achieved.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="no_hxc" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .false.
         </default>
         <info>
When set to .true. the change in the internal field
(Hartree and exchange-correlation) is ignored in the
calculation, resulting in the independent electron
approximation.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="pseudo_hermitian" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .true.
         </default>
         <info>
When set to .true. the pseudo-Hermitian Lanczos
algorithm is used. When set to .false. the
non-Hermitian Lanczos biorthogonalization algorithm
is used (which is two times slower).
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="ltammd" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .false.
         </default>
         <info>
When set to .true. the Tamm-Dancoff approximation is used
in constructing the Liouvillian.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="lplot_drho" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .false.
         </default>
         <info>
When set to .true. the turbo_davidson.x code will write
files for each eigenstate &quot;drho-of-eign-$i&quot; which are
needed to plot the response charge-density at each resonance.
This implies a calculation using the pp.x post-processing
program with the corresponding input file which must be
prepared. See example &quot;H2O-PLOTRHO&quot;.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="d0psi_rs" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .false.
         </default>
         <info>
When set to .true. the dipole is computed in the
real space. When set to .false. the dipole is
computed in the reciprocal space by computing [H,r].
Note, currently the commutator does not contain
a contribution for hybrids [V_EXX,r]. See also
the variable <ref>lshift_d0psi</ref>.
Important: Treatment of the dipole in the real space
is allowed only if the system is finite.
         </info>
      </var>
      <var name="lshift_d0psi" type="LOGICAL" >
         <default> .true.
         </default>
         <info>
This variable is used only when <ref>d0psi_rs</ref> = .true.
a) If a molecule is placed in the corner of the
supercell, there is a discontinuity problem for the
position operator r, which is not periodic. By setting
<ref>lshift_d0psi</ref> = .true. the discontinuity problem is
solved by shifting the position operator r such that
it is continuous and well defined.
b) If a molecule is placed in the center of the supercell,
there is no discontinuity problem for the position operator r,
and thus you can set <ref>lshift_d0psi</ref> = .false. But if you still
set it to .true., this will not harm, because the position
operator will basically remain as it is, since it is always
centered wrt the center of the molecule.
