In general, the total energies that are compared need to be obtained
with the same setting. So, all the total energies have to be obtained
with either TETRA or TEMP.
You can try to restart with TETRA the calculation that you converged
with TEMP (clean_lapw should not be executed after the TEMP calculation
in order to have the case.vector for restarting with TETRA). Maybe the
TETRA calculation will this time converge.
Otherwise, you would need to run the other calculations also with TEMP.

Dear Prof. Tran,
I have obtained convergence by introducing the
following parameters; alpha=0.25, mixing scheme = PRATT, mixing
parameter=0.05, TETRA instead of TEMP in case.in2.
Now, I want to compare the energy before lithiation & after
lithiation. I have obtained the energy before lithiation using the
parameter, alpha =0.25, mixing scheme = Msr1, mixing parameter=0.2,
TEMP in case.in2
Do you think that these two scenarios are comparable? or I may need to
invoke the same parameters in the system before lithiation?
with regards,

Dear Prof. Tran,
Yes the system is a metal. Do you think using
PRATT will be reasonable as Prof. Blaha once said that he would not
play with the PRATT mixing?
with regards,

If the calculation really did not seem to converge (:ENE was
oscillating

better to delete the case.vector files with clean_lapw and
regenerate
case.clmsum in some way (with dstart or with some functional, PBE
or
PBE+U).
I can not remember the details of your system and convergence
problems
(was it a metal?), but this has already happened that I could
converge
only by using PRATT with a very small mixing factor (0.05) in
case.inm.
Using TEMP instead of TETRA in case.in2 may be worth to try.

Dear Wien2k users & Prof. Tran,
As I am not getting
convergence
with HSE06, I want to try reducing the Alpha from 0.25 to 0.05
using
your earlier advice. My query is:
whenever I need to change Alpha, should I need to do clean_lapw
every
time?
Looking forward to your advice in this regard.
with regards,
