Dear Professor Blaha,
I use wien21.
I calculate the BaTiO3 structure, atom 1 is Ba, RMT(Ba) = 2.44; RMT(Ti) =
1.72; RMT(O) = 1.55.
First I run the SCF calculation on WC, it converges successfully.
Results of scf calculation for WC potential:
Insulator, EF-inconsistency corrected
:GAP (global) : 0.144257 Ry = 1.963 eV (accurate value if proper
k-mesh)
Bandranges (emin - emax) and occupancy:

:POS001: ATOM -1 X,Y,Z = 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 MULT= 1 ZZ= 56.000 Ba
lmax 10
This is a hybrid calculation, I use XC_HYB_GGA_XC_B1WC in case.in0, after
which I run init_hf_lapw, select nband = 21 (since after calculating on WC
nb_occ = 20). When I delete a line for l = 1 from in1, an error still
appears.
Thank you in advance,
With Best Regard,
Natalia Andreeva
