Dear All,

following the recipes given in this thread:

http://qe-forge.org/pipermail/pw_forum/2009-May/087347.html

I added two routines to the pp.x code to calculate the average
electronic kinetic energy. I started from both the elf.f90 subroutine in
PP code and from the pw2casino implementation.

It's almost only a matter of copy/paste but there is a thing I cannot
understand.

Let "kkin" be the variable with the kinetic energy density, following
the elf.f90 code I have:

     0    ! symmetrize the local kinetic energy if needed
     1    IF ( .not. gamma_only) THEN
     2       !
     3       CALL sym_rho_init ( gamma_only )
     4       !
     5       aux(:) =  cmplx ( kkin (:), 0.0_dp, kind=dp)
     6       CALL fwfft ('Dense', aux, dfftp)
     7       ALLOCATE (aux2(ngm))
     8       aux2(:) = aux(nl(:))
     9       !
    10       ! aux2 contains the local kinetic energy in G-space to be
symmetrized
    11       !
    12       CALL sym_rho ( 1, aux2 )
    13       !
    14       aux(:) = (0.0_dp, 0.0_dp)
    15       aux(nl(:)) = aux2(:)
    16       DEALLOCATE (aux2)
    17  
    18       CALL invfft ('Dense', aux, dfftp)
    19       kkin (:) = dble(aux(:))
    20       !
    21    ENDIF
    22    T = sum( kkin(:) )*omega / ( dfftp%nr1*dfftp%nr2*dfftp%nr3 )

To get the correct kinetic energy (T), with respect to elf.f90, I had to
change
CALL fwfft ('Smooth', aux, dfftp)
to
CALL fwfft ('Dense', aux, dfftp)
on line 6 because otherwise I couldn't perform the sum correctly (even
if using dffts%nr1 nr2 nr3).

With this trick the elf-derived and the pw2casino-derived routines give
similar results in all the cases I used for testing.
Nonetheless, I'm completely unfamiliar with the QE implementation, and
probably there is no need to change Smooth to Dense.
Moreover, I don't really know if performing sym_rho on the Dense grid is
fine or not.

Can someone please help me figure out my mistake(s)?

Thanks,
Pietro

ps: the subroutines are attached.
