ENCUTGWSOFT = [real] (energy cutoff for response function) 

Default: ENCUTGWSOFT = ENCUTGW for ALGO=ACFDT
= ENCUTGW else


The flag allows to truncate the Coulomb kernel slowly between the energy specified by ENCUTGWSOFT and ENCUTGW. This usually leads to much smoother energy-volume curves in AC-FDT and MP2 calculations. The modified Coulomb kernel is in this case: Failed to parse (Conversion error.
