PREC = Low | Medium | High | Normal | Single | Accurate 

Default: PREC = Medium for VASP.4.X
= Normal for VASP.5.X

Description: PREC specifies the "precision"-mode.


Changing the PREC parameter influences the defaults for four sets of parameters (ENCUT; NGX, NGY, NGZ; NGXF, NGYF, NGZF, and ROPT):

PREC NGX,Y,Z NGXF,YF,ZF ROPT
Normal 3/2×Gcut NGX -5×10-4
Single 3/2×Gcut NGX -5×10-4
Accurate 2×Gcut NGX -2.5×10-4
Low 3/2×Gcut 3×Gaug -1×10-2
Medium 3/2×Gcut 4×Gaug -2×10-3
High 2×Gcut 16/3×Gaug -4×10-4

where

[math]\displaystyle{ E_{\rm cut}=\frac{\hbar^2}{2m_e}G_{\rm cut}^2 \qquad E_{\rm aug}=\frac{\hbar^2}{2m_e}G_{\rm aug}^2 }[/math]

with Ecut=ENCUT and Eaug=ENAUG.

Mind: the settings PREC=Normal and PREC=Accurate are only available in VASP.4.5 and newer versions. The setting PREC=Single is only available as of VASP.5.1.


or an equation array or another example in another section

and an array of equations

An eqnarray

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \frac{e}{\pi} & =\int_\Omega \psi (\mathbf{r}) d\mathbf{r} \\ a & = b \\ \end{align} }[/math]
