ENCUTGWSOFT = [real] (energy cutoff for response function)
Default: ENCUTGWSOFT = ENCUTGW
\begin{tabular} {ll}
Default: \\
{\tt ENCUTGWSOFT}={\tt ENCUTGW}$\times 0.8$ & for {\tt ALGO}=ACFDT \\
{\tt ENCUTGWSOFT}={\tt ENCUTGW} & else \\
\end{tabular}

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: [math]\displaystyle{ v_{\bf G} = \frac{4 \pi e^2} {| \bf G|^2} \frac{1}{2} \left( 1 + {\rm cos} \left( \pi \, \frac{ \frac{\hbar^2 |\bf G|^2 }{2 m_e} - {{TAG|ENCUTGWSOFT}}}{ {{TAG|ENCUTGW}} - {{TAG|ENCUTGWSOFT}}} \right) \right) \qquad \mbox{for} \quad \frac{\hbar^2 |\bf G|^2 }{2 m_e} \gt {{TAG|ENCUTGWSOFT}} }[/math]
