As was discussed before, I do not see any proper physics to include U for p states. I claim, they are not so localized that PBE+U is justified.

In addition, in LAPW we apply U only inside the sphere and we also calculate V_orb from the occupation numbers. If, however, a p-charge of a fully occupied orbital inside the sphere is only a fairly small fraction of one, you may even get a "wrong" shift.

Eg. in MgO (depending on RMT) only 4.3 e are inside spheres (instead of 6), and since the potential is calculated from U*(1/2-n_i), your shift will be less than half then it would be with a different definition of the density matrix.

Dear Sir,

             I am wondering if the LDA+U/Bext can add on the p orbital. I see the value of lorb is only 2(which means the d orbital) through the whole manual.  I tried the f orbitals, it worked. But it failed when I tried p orbitals.

             Looking forward to your reply. Thanks very much.

Best,

Rossie
