INIMIX

INIMIX = 0 | 1 | 2
Default: INIMIX = 1 

Description: Determines the functional form of the initial mixing matrix in the Broyden scheme (IMIX=4).

---

The initial mixing matrix might influence the convergence speed for complex situations (especially surfaces and magnetic systems), nevertheless INIMIX must not be changed from the default setting: anything which can be done with INIMIX can also be done with AMIX and BMIX, and changing AMIX and BMIX is definitely preferable.

Possible choices for INIMIX are:

• INIMIX=0

Linear mixing according to the setting of AMIX

• INIMIX=1

Kerker mixing (see IMIX=1) according to the settings of AMIX and BMIX.

The mixed density is given by

$\rho_{\rm mix}\left(G\right)=\rho_{\rm in}\left(G\right)+A \frac{G^2}{G^2+B^2}\Bigl(\rho_{\rm out}\left(G\right)-\rho_{\rm in}\left(G\right)\Bigr)$

with $A$=AMIX and $B$=BMIX

• INIMIX=2

No mixing (equal to INIMIX=0 and AMIX=1, not recommended)
