Dear Yambo team,

Is there anyway i can remove one band from the summation of calculation (Both BSE and
for example for BSE kernel, i have
% BSEBands
100 | 180 | # [BSK] Bands range
%n
then i find out an unrealistic band 148, and want to remove the contribution of this specific band.

For BSE kernel building since it is a matrix of Nv*Nc*Nbz size. What i mean remove would be setting all the c=148 matrix element to be zero.

For Dielectric matrix part it would be removing one term in the summation of band.

Dear Shimin,

it cannot be done by input file, and it would not be straightforward to modify the code for this,
however, I would suggest investigating why you have an unrealistic band rather than removing it.

Best,
Daniele
