Description: CUTOFF_TYPE chooses the type of cutoff function to be used before performing the singular-value decomposition (SVD) of the initial projections matrix.
This tag governs how much weight should be given in the SVD during the one-shot Wannierization to a certain orbital with energy . If the weight is zero the orbital is not included in the fitting while if it is one it is included with the maximum importance. This behavior is similar to the wannier90 disentanglement window.
In order to obtain a good Wannierization, a certain level of freedom should be given to the localized orbitals to adequately accommodate the Bloch states. This is particularly important for systems with entangled states.
