the imaginary part of Green function along chosen k-path

Hi all,

I want to perform a full frequency GW calculation along a chosen k-path. I understand that GW band structure along chosen path can be interpolated by ypp -s b.
Now I want to obtain the imaginary part of Green function instead of band energy. Information about the imaginary part of Green function can be found in output from real-axis calculation. But now I can only obtain the green function with k point in previous pwscf run.
BZ kpoint grid generator (ypp -k k) can generate k-point not included in the previous grid while calculation containing many new k-points seem to be too expensive in this way.
Is it possible to perform this calculation more efficiently? Any suggestion?

Best,
Weiqing

Dear Wieking,
the suggestion it cames me in mind is to caluclate in a regular grid and use an interpolator to obtain the information you want on a path.

Best,
Daniele
