Full frequency on YAMBO

[manaswitakar]

Hi,

Is it possible to perform a full-frequency GW calculation the latest available version of YAMBO? Can the results be trusted? Please let me know as convenient.

Dear Manasawita,

yes, sure you can perform full-frequency (FF) calculations and of course you can trust the results provided they are converged. The difficulty is that FF are very
heavy because they converge slowly with respect to the number of frequencies to be used.

In the last version of Yambo it has been released the MPA (multipole approximation) method, which allow speeding up the calculation without loosing accuracy wrt the FF method.
You can find here a reference of the MPA:

and here is a tutorial to use it:
