Question about ACE Operator for hybrid functionals

Hello all,

I noticed that the tag LFOCKACE is only set True by default when using Algo = Normal. Is there a reason against using LFOCKACE for Algo = Damped or Algo = All?

Thank you, and best regards,
Reynaldo

Hi,

The ACE technique is (and can be) implemented only for the Davidson minimization method (ALGO=Normal). Other related threads that may be useful are
