Dear Krishnendu,

if you want to know what the grids are (those appearing in the header of
the table) check this message from Stefano de Gironcoli:

https://lists.quantum-espresso.org/pipermail/developers/2017-November/001783.html

The second keyword in that table is "sticks", which concerns with the
way the data is distributed among multiple processes in order to perform
a parallel FFT. This presentation, again by Prof. de Gironcoli, will
explain how that works:

With these information and the details of your input file (ecutwfc,
ecutrho and the lattice) you should be able to roughly predict the
number of G-vectors of the various grids of your plane wave expansion.
Predicting the number of sticks is slightly more complicated and, in my
opinion, it's quite pointless.

Best wishes,
Pietro

How many G-vectors are required to describe a plane-wave ?

It will be very helpful if I could understand the following part of the
output that I am getting almost in the beginning.

G-vector sticks info
      --------------------
      sticks:   dense  smooth     PW     G-vecs:    dense   smooth      PW
      Sum        6181    3093    885               364637   128843   20341

Thank you,
Regards,

Krishnendu

Actually, all the coefficients of all the wavefunctions AT A GIVEN K
POINT: there is one wavefunction file per k point.
